Jardines House
Once the most famous and tallest building in Hong Kong. It is so special because of the giant circular windows, the most modern building in Hong Kong as well as Asia when it was built.
Jardines was one of the biggest, most influential corporations and the largest private sector employer in Hong Kong. Its history in Hong Kong can even be dated before Hong Kong became the colony of Britain. However, it had delisted from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and moved to Singapore in the mid-1990s.

Exchange Square
Hong Kong's heart - the Exchange Square is located in this building. However it is not open to the public so we are unable to see the exciting world of trading.
The ground floor of this building is a bus terminus. Buses depart here for Repulse Bay, Stanley, The Peak and many other parts of Hong Kong.
