Statue Square is a square in Hong Kong, located in Central, Hong Kong Island. It was a landmark square building in the early years of Victoria City. Originally, there was a bronze statue of Queen Victoria, but now there are no statues of any members of the British royal family. Only a statue commemorating banker Sir Thomas Jackson remains. The government rebuilt the square into its present appearance in the 1960s for citizens to relax and unwind. #Hong Kong Good Places

To introduce you to the history of Hong Kong, Queen's Statue Square was originally called Royal Square, and the land was obtained from land reclamation in the 1880s. To commemorate the 60th anniversary of Queen Victoria's accession to the throne, the Hong Kong government cast a bronze statue of the Queen, which was unveiled in Central Square on May 28, 1896. The Queen's bronze is the work of Italian-born sculptor Mario Raggi, and two other statues of the same model in Toronto, Canada and Kimberley, South Africa were also built by him. The 3-ton bronze statue of the Queen, placed within an arched pavilion at the heart of the central square (junction of Cheddar Road and Victory Street), forms the central axis with the dock of the Queen's statue (first generation Queen's Wharf). In 1897, the government renamed Central Square to Statue Square, the word "Queen" being actually caused by government officials mistranslating the English word "Queen" as "Queen". The southern part of the square is a lawn, and in the center is Victory Street, which runs through Devon Road Central and Chater Road. On July 5, 1902, the bronze statue of the Duke of Connaught (Queen Victoria's third son) was donated by Sir Chater and placed in Statue Square (later changed to Connaught Road in 1907). In recognition of his contribution to the Hong Kong economy, his bronze statue was placed in the square in 1906 and was donated by HSBC Bank in recognition of his contribution to the Hong Kong economy. The northern part of the square houses several bronze statues of members of the British royal family, including those of King Edward VII and George V. Both statues were unveiled on February 6, 1907 by the visiting Duke of Connaught and donated by Sir Chater and Bell Irving. On November 25, 1909, bronze statues of Queen Alexandra, wife of Edward VII, and Queen Mary, wife of George V, were placed in the square, donated by the Public and Sir Modi, respectively. On May 3, 1923, a bronze statue of Sir May Hamley, the Governor of Hong Kong, was placed in the square. On the 24th of the same month, a "HSBC Bank Memorial Staff Statue of the First World War" was placed in the square. In the same year, the Peace Monument on the eastern side of the northern part of the square was built to commemorate the fallen soldiers in World War I. There is also a five-star Mandarin Oriental Hotel next door. Very convenient. Thank you all for your appreciation #HongKong #Historic Buildings #Local Tour

great place to have lunch and eat on a winter day. food choices are limited, but if you can walk here and have lunch in the square it's quite nice!

I was shocked when I saw this scene for the first time. On Sundays, domestic helpers prepare and pack food, load it into suitcases, and set up their "private spaces" with tents, cardboard, floor mats in street parks, overpasses, steps, and roadside green areas. Mong Kok, Sham Shui Po, Central, and even Repulse Bay Beach are filled with their figures. Picnics, street camping, KTV, beach barbecues, speaking their hometown language with their sisters, video chatting with relatives and friends in distant lands, and sharing stories of the week with each other. This is their spiritual support, the only day of the week that belongs to them. At this moment, they may be mothers of children in faraway lands, wives, and the economic pillars of their families. When I passed by the place where they gathered during the day again at night, there was no trash on the ground, as if nothing had happened during the day. The high prices in Hong Kong and their extremely limited salaries in the area severely limit their Sunday gathering places, so they can only occupy public resources. The local government is tolerant of this and provides support to this group that makes a huge contribution to the logistics support of local families. On Sundays, they will close some busy roads and set up temporary shelters and mobile restrooms. 📍Main gathering places for foreign domestic helpers · Hong Kong Island (mostly Filipina domestic helpers): Central (Chater Garden, Statue Square), overpasses around the Central Post Office, Edinburgh Place, Admiralty Pacific Place, Causeway Bay Victoria Park · Repulse Bay Beach, around Stanley Murray House Plaza · Kowloon (mainly Indonesian domestic helpers): Mong Kok Overpass, Kweilin Street and Apliu Street in Sham Shui Po

From Central to Causeway Bay Each one has the taste of Hong Kong Transportation: Dingding car, bus, subway, etc.

As night falls, Hong Kong Central comes alive in a dazzling mix of old and new. The grand HSBC and Bank of China buildings shine against the night sky, while Statue Square stands quietly beneath the city’s glow. Colonial-era structures whisper history amid neon-lit convenience stores and bustling streets. The blend of heritage and modernity creates an electrifying vibe—every corner tells a story, every street pulses with energy. Whether strolling under the skyscrapers or soaking in the charm of classic architecture, Central at night is pure Hong Kong magic! #hongkongguide
