The Center

The Center is a 73-story skyscraper located on Queen's Road Central. Standing 346 meters tall, it is one of the tallest buildings in Hong Kong. Travelers visit this landmark primarily to access its high-altitude views of the city's dense urban landscape and Victoria Harbour.

Getting There

The building is situated in the heart of the Central district. It is easily accessible via the MTR, with both the Central and Sheung Wan stations located within walking distance. Depending on your starting point within the city center, transit typically takes 10 to 20 minutes.
