Main Building of the University of Hong Kong, University building in Central and Western District, Hong Kong.

The Main Building features red brick walls, granite columns, and four corner towers surrounding a central clock tower donated in 1930.

Constructed in 1912, the Main Building served as a temporary hospital during the 1941 Japanese occupation, with its roof materials removed for fuel.

The Loke Yew Hall within the Main Building hosted Dr. Sun Yat-sen's notable speech in 1923 about Hong Kong's influence on his revolutionary ideas.

The building contains administrative offices, examination halls, and a central hall that accommodates 450 people for graduation ceremonies and cultural events.

The structure follows a cruciform layout with palm trees reaching 9 meters high in its four courtyards created through multiple expansion phases.
