Central is where high finance meets haute couture, and mega deals are
closed in towering skyscrapers. To the west is historically rich Sheung Wan,
while Admiralty with its few but excellent offerings lies to the east.
East of Admiralty is Wan Chai which features skyscrapers in the north and
old neighbourhoods in the south. Neon-clad Causeway Bay lies to the east.
HSBC BUILDING
( 1 Queen's Rd, Central; MTR Central, exit K)
The stunning headquarters of
HSBC, designed by British architect Sir Norman Foster, is a master- piece of
precision, sophistication and innovation. It's worth taking the
escalator
(
9am-4.30pm Mon-Fri, 9am-12.30pm Sat)
to the cathedral-like atrium on the
3rd floor.
