Official Residence of the Financial Secretary, Official residence in Shouson Hill, Hong Kong.
The Official Residence of the Financial Secretary is a two-story building on Shouson Hill Road designed in neo-Georgian style. It serves as the home of Hong Kong's Financial Secretary and remains an active government property with restricted public access.
The building was constructed in 1935 and originally belonged to Sir Shouson Chow before later becoming the residence of the Financial Secretary. This transition reflects how the property adapted to serve Hong Kong's evolving governance structures.
The Grade II historic building represents the intersection of colonial administrative heritage and modern Hong Kong governance structures.
Since the building functions as an active government residence, public visiting inside is not possible. You can view it from outside and explore the surrounding Shouson Hill area, one of Hong Kong's elevated residential neighborhoods.
The residence sits on an elevated spot overlooking Deep Water Bay and combines British colonial architecture with local design touches in ways visible in specific building details. These design choices respond thoughtfully to the hillside location and waterfront views.
