Government House

Government House, located on Government Hill in the Central District of Hong Kong Island, is the official residence of the Chief Executive of Hong Kong. The building was constructed in 1855, but was significantly remodelled during Japanese occupation, resulting in the current hybrid Japanese-Neoclassical form.

Government House was the official residence of the Governor from 1855 to 1997, when the city was under British rule. 25 Governors of Hong Kong, out of total 28, used this building as official residence.
