[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for Statue Square (Updated Mar)

Statue Square in Central is a historic public square. The Statue Square is surrounded by high-rise buildings such as HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Bank of China, Prince's Building, and Mandarin Oriental Hotel. There is also the Legislative Council Building next to it. It is a famous square in Hong Kong. Statue Square is named after the bronze statue of Queen Victoria, cast to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Queen Victoria's accession to the throne. The bronze statue of the Queen was originally placed in this square. It was dismantled by the Japanese army during World War II. After the war, the bronze statue of the Queen was transported back and is now placed in Victoria Park. Therefore, there is no statue of the Queen in the Statue Square today, but a statue of Thomas Jackson (Sir Jackson), the general manager of HSBC Bank. Since there are many fountains and chairs on the square, many Filipino maids will gather here every Sunday. Many people come here illegally to work, and in December every year, a colorful winter festival is held in Statue Square. The square is modeled after the town of Santa Claus in northern Finland, with many Christmas-related arrangements and a 35-meter-high outdoor Christmas tree, which is very spectacular.
