China Building

China Building, Financial building in Central District, Hong Kong.

The China Building stands at the corner of Pedder Street and Queen's Road Central in Central, Hong Kong. The 23-storey tower, completed in 1978, has shops at ground level and 21 floors of Grade-A offices above a basement and mezzanine. A pair of bronze Chinese lions sits by the Queen's Road Central pavement facing Wyndham Street.

The site once held Hong Kong's second General Post Office on Queen's Road Central and the first Supreme Court on Pedder Street. Sold in 1922 at HK$50 per square foot, it saw the first China Building rise in 1924. Cheung Kong rebuilt it as the second China Building after 1975, and Li Ka-shing moved Cheung Kong's headquarters here in 1978.

The building's name comes from its Chinese name Wah Yan Hong, used since the first generation opened in 1924. On the Queen's Road Central pavement facing Wyndham Street stands a pair of finely made bronze Chinese lions, a mascot rare among neighbouring towers. The ground floor and basement hold an HSBC branch, while floors 14 and 15 house a medical centre.

The building stands at the corner of Pedder Street and Queen's Road Central. Central MTR station Exit D1 is a two-minute walk away, and trams and buses also stop nearby. The ground floor and basement hold an HSBC branch, while the upper floors are offices.

On the Queen's Road Central pavement facing Wyndham Street stands a pair of finely worked bronze Chinese lions, mascots that few other buildings nearby have. The site itself was sold in 1922 at HK$50 per square foot, and the first China Building rose there in 1924.
