Aerial view of buildings in Central District of Hong Kong in 1957
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 Hong Kong's Central District drawn by Luo Dingzhou used a rare high-altitude view at the time to overlook the corners, and in 1957, many government offices in Central, Des Voeux Road, including Bank of China, HSBC and East Asia and many other large banks, Renaissance-style buildings The old General Post Office, as well as many new buildings that were rebuilt into tens of stories after the war, including Tak Shing Building, Wing On Life Building, and the first-generation Wanyi Building, Central Market, multiple piers and many important streets, are all Draw one by one. At that time, the clock tower of the Gloucester Building was still there, and the third-generation Star Ferry Terminal had just been completed. Like the later completed City Hall, it followed the popular modernist architecture at that time.
