SPD4459 The Little White Shoes - 中西區歷史 History of Central and Western District

(SPD4459 The Little White Shoes) 中西區是香港十八區之一，位於香港島西北部，香港開埠後最早發展的地區。中西區可以細分為中區（金鐘、中環和上環）、西區（西環、石塘咀和堅尼地城）和半山區（太平山和薄扶林）三個部份。現時區內摩天商廈臨立，不但成為香港的旅遊特色外，亦映射著香港在國際大舞台的地位。

另一方面，中西區是集歷史、文化和藝術於一身的區域。雖然經歷百年歲月的洗禮，但亦保留了很多極具歷史價值的古蹟、建築物和特色街道。例如：終審法院大樓、前立法會大樓、石板街（砵典乍街）、文咸街等等。這全都是香港人的集體回憶！

The Central and Western District is one of the 18 administrative districts in Hong Kong and located on northern part of Hong Kong Island. The Central and Western District is also the earliest development district after opening the port of Hong Kong. It can be separated into 3 main parts which are central district (Admiralty, Central and SheungWan), Western (Western District, Shek Tong Tsui and Kennedy Town) and mid-levels district (Victoria Peak and Pokfulam).

Nowadays, in Central and Western District, there are lots of skyscrapers and you will be surrounded by them. These skyscrapers helped to showcase Hong Kong’s development to the world. On the other hand, Central and Western District is a place of history, culture and art fusion. The beauty of Central and Western District lies in its old and new, eastern and western cultural heritages, buildings and feature streets. For example: CFA building, the former Legislative Council Building, Pottinger Street, Bonham Street, and so on. These are the collective memories of HongKonger.
