Detail InformationEdit

Statue Square is a public pedestrian square in Central, Hong Kong. Built entirely on reclaimed land at the end of the 19th century, Statue Square consists of two parts separated by Chater Road into a northern and a southern sections. It is bordered by Connaught Road Central in the north and by Des Voeux Road Central in the south.
The name is a reference to the statues, mainly of British royalty, which stood on the square until the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong during WWII. Today, the only statue on the square is The ONE of Sir Thomas Jackson, 1st Baronet, an early HSBC banker.The square was built at the end of the 19th century on land reclaimed by the Praya Reclamation Scheme.
South -The HSBC Hong Kong headquarters building is located along the southern side of the square, across Des Voeux Road Central. The site was previously occupied by the old City Hall (built 1869, demolished 1933) and smaller earlier generations of the HSBC Hong Kong headquarters building.
West- Several buildings with names reminiscent of British royalty were built on the western side of the square. Prince’s Building and Queen’s Building were built directly along the square (southern section and northern section respectively), while the others were built further west.
North – The square was initially bordered by Victoria Harbour on its northern side, but following land reclamation, it is now separated from it by Edinburgh Place, which housed the Star Ferry pier, among others, until 2007.
