Free. Government House was the residence of Hong Kong’s colonial governors from 1855 until the SAR’s return to China in 1997. Hong Kong’s current Chief Executive, Donald Tsang, has also taken up residence here despite the building’s colonial associations and notoriously bad feng shui. The house is a strange blend of styles (the turret was added by the Japanese during World War II), and the gardens are notable for their rhododendrons, azaleas and huge fish pond.
