This website shows the history of our Government Hill where our Hong Kong Government Offices have been for over 150 years.

Volunteers of the Government Hill Concern Group offer tours so that everyone can see, and learn more about their "Government Hill".

In 2012 the Hong Kong Government is moving half of the Central Government Office functions from Government Hill to the harbourfront Tamar site.

This creates an opportunity for the community to use half of the land - the so-called "West Wing" - for uses that benefit the community.

Government, instead, has proposed selling half the site to a developer. This would destroy all the historical elements of the West Wing and half of Government Hill. There are many other options.

We promote a heritage-led Government Hill project to conserve all historic buildings and tunnels, and create a community asset for the public enjoyment of our heritage and open space.
