Hong Kong offers a wealth
of architectural influences and styles just waiting to be discovered.
During this guided tour through Hong Kong's Central district, visitors
will come to understand the evolution of the city through its
buildings. Taking in such sights as the Central Police Station, the
Fringe Club and the former French Mission building, architect hosts
will point out the special characteristics that make each structure
unique as well as discussing its relevant history.
Thrusting skyward in dramatic contrast to these historical structures
are Hong Kong's many glass and steel monuments to modernism. Designed
by some of the world's most renowned architects, they are vital to
understanding the evolution of building styles and the way Hong Kong's
urban architecture has changed during the past century.
