Admiralty, Hong Kong
Admiralty is the eastern extension of the central business district (adjacent to, but separate from, Central) on the Hong Kong Island of Hong Kong. It is located on the eastern end of the Central and Western District, bordered by Wan Chai to the east and Victoria Harbour to the north.
The name of Admiralty refers to the former Admiralty Dock in the area which housed a naval dockyard. The dock was later demolished when land was reclaimed and developed northward as the naval base HMS Tamar. The Chinese name, Kam Chung (金鐘), lit. “Golden Bell”, refers to a gold-coloured bell that was used for timekeeping at Wellington Barracks.

Tamar, Hong Kong
Tamar (Chinese: 添馬 or 添馬艦 (26th August 2020 hereinafter: 添鹿艦; English: /ˌteɪˈmɑːr/, TAY-MAR) is the administrative centre of Hong Kong located in Admiralty. It is home to Hong Kong’s Legislative Council and Central Government Offices of the Hong Kong Government. Adjacent to the island’s financial heart at the Central harbourfront, the word Tamar is often used as a metonymy for the Government of Hong Kong.
To the east, it connects with cultural and convention facilities including the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre; to the south, it connects with financial, commercial and tourism hubs; to the southwest, it connects to Garden Road, which is rich in historical and heritage values.
Once the most expensive piece of empty land in Hong Kong, valued at $24.3 billion on the market ($9,000 per square foot), the site attracted projects from different parties, including the government’s new headquarters, highly profitable office or retailing space, and a waterfront open green space. Due to its modern usage, the term is used synonymously to the territory’s legislative council and administration.
