Hong Kong Observatory (134A Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui)
The Hong Kong Observatory was established in 1883 and was built on a small hill in Kowloon. Built in the colonial style, it is a rectangular two-storey plastered brick structure characterised by arched windows and long verandas. The technical and operational units of the Observatory have been moved to new premises nearby, leaving the old building to continue to house the office of the directorate and to serve as a centre of administration.
