Hong Kong does not have a formal capital. The city’s administrative and financial hub is typically identified as Central District, Hong Kong, which functions as the de facto capital in practical terms. Historically, Victoria City on Hong Kong Island was regarded as the unofficial capital during the colonial era, and some sources still reference Victoria as an informal or historical capital, though today Central is widely recognized as the administrative core. Central houses key government offices, the Legislative Council Building, and major financial institutions, making it the focal point of governance and commerce in Hong Kong.
