Jardine House

Jardine House of Jardine  


The Jardine House owner, Jardine, is a Scottish company.  


Jardine as an opium trader

It was an opium trader.  It sold Opium to China and caused the Opium War, which turned Hong Kong a British colony.  So Jardine is very important to Hong Kong’s history.


Jardine as the major landlord

Jardine then became the major landlord of Central.  It spent the unprecedented 248 million HKD purchasing the land and just used 16 months to build the first skyscrapers, Jardine House, in Hong Kong in 1973.  

The 52-story building was the tallest building in Hong Kong and even Asia in the 1970s.  

Today, the building is just a little baby!


Jardine House, a building with many holes


The building has about 1700 circular windows.  The round "moon gate" windows hold an honoured place in Chinese architectural tradition and offer beautiful views of Victoria Harbour and The Peak.




If YOU want to see the Jardine House and other skyscrapers at the Victoria Peak, YOU may have the easy and enjoyable Hong Kong Island half day city tour, which includes the Peak Tram ride.
