Wing On House, Commercial skyscraper in Central, Hong Kong.
Wing On House is a 31-story commercial building located at Des Voeux Road Central that dominates the skyline of the central business district. The building houses financial institutions, professional organizations, and international consulate offices throughout its floors.
The building was completed in 1967 and was Hong Kong's tallest commercial structure at that time. It held this position for four years until Pearl City Mansion surpassed it in 1971, reflecting the city's rapid skyline evolution.
The building's name means 'Eternal Peace' in English and reflects traditional Chinese values of stability and commercial prosperity. It represents how these ideals were important to the business community in Hong Kong.
The building is easily accessible via Des Voeux Road Central and sits in the heart of the financial district. Visitors should be aware that access to certain areas may be restricted since it houses government offices and private business spaces.
On Des Voeux Road Central, the building shares its name with two neighboring structures, which can make it easy to confuse them. These three similarly-named buildings show how popular this traditional naming approach was in the area.
