The architectural beauty of Hong Kong is simply magical. A blend of modern designs and historical constructs are what gives this great city its distinct character. Dominated by postmodernist and functionalist designs, Hong Kong is famous for demolishing old, shabby buildings and replacing them with intricately designed modern architectural masterpieces.
With regard to its architecture, Hong Kong can be divided into three distinct categories. The first and most obvious category is where the Chinese style buildings and temples fall under, as the historically significant sites which have been well preserved and maintained. The Tin Hau Temple is one such religious site in Hong Kong which was devoted to the patron goddess of fishermen and pirates. Soon after the end of British rule came the most evident form of architecture that you will see in Hong Kong, Tong Lau as they were called are known to be tenement buildings stacked up in close proximity to one another.
Edwardian and Victorian styles of architecture fall under the European architectural category. These forms came to these shores after European settlers came to China. The original building which belonged to the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation falls under this category as does the Pedder Street Clock Tower. Neither of these constructs however has survived in their original form. The Central Police Station, the Legislative Council Building and the Murray House however have been able to stand the test of time and can still be seen today. The third and final category of Hong Kong architecture belongs to the modernist style. High Cliff, The Arch, the Bank of China Tower and even the Hong Kong International Airport Building belongs to this category which has a long list of similar buildings in the region.
