Hong Kong offers a wealth of architectural influences and styles just waiting to be discovered. During this walk 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.
