Aerial view of buildings in Central District of Hong Kong in 1959 In the 1950s, Central was already a bustling commercial district. Although it still has the atmosphere of Victoria City, modern buildings have begun to appear, which reveals the important stage of Hong Kong's transition from a colony to a modern city. This three-dimensional map of the Central District drawn by Luo Dingzhou was dated 1959. The map covers many streets and buildings between Queen's Road Central and Hollywood Road, presenting the urban area of Central and Sheung Wan on Hong Kong Island, which is built on the hillside and row upon row appearance.
