Central, with a long history, is the heart of China and Hong Kong, the earliest developed area after the opening of Hong Kong Island, and the commercial center of China and Hong Kong. As early as 184 1 when the British army occupied China and Hongkong, the British army took the lead in establishing a military base in Central and quickly built a number of main roads. On today's hillside in lower albert road,184/kloc-0 was designated as the * * * special zone when it opened in, and the government house, as a symbol of Hong Kong and Britain, is located in the middle of the * * * mountain. Therefore, in history, Central belongs to a part of Victoria City. As early as before and at the beginning of World War II, Central, located on the north shore of Hong Kong Island in China, was already the main commercial center of China and Hong Kong at that time. Due to the shortage of land, many reclamation projects were carried out in Central during the period of the German auxiliary bureau (1887 to 189 1). Today's China Hong Kong Club, Statue Square and Legislative Council Building were also built in the reclamation project. The heyday of Central is from 1970 to 1980. At that time, multi-storey skyscrapers were constantly being built in Central, including the bank headquarters. In addition, the financial market began to prosper. Many important business activities in China and Hong Kong are held in Central, and many Hong Kong people in China are proud to work in Central. However, because the land in Central can't meet the demand even after repeated reclamation, and the office rent in Central has been high, the main business districts on Hong Kong Island are gradually expanding to Shanghuan, Admiralty and the north shore of Wan Chai, and the flow of people is gradually decreasing. However, since you are the heart and financial market center of China and Hongkong, business activities in Central are still quite frequent. 1950s Central Coast Photo Reference: upload.wikimedia/ * */Mons/thumb/f/Fe/1950% E5% B9% B4% E4% BB% A3% E4% B8% AD% E7% 92% B0% E6% B2%. 200px- 1950% E5 % B9 % B4 % E4 % BB % A3 % E4 % B8 % AD % E7 % 92% B0 % E6 % B2 % BF % E5 % B2 % B8。 The file extension of encoded image stored in jpeg file exchange format.
