The HKMA Review

Came to Hong Kong early in the morning to see the listing of companies [Fun] (6.88 million worth of gold is really heavy) [Scenery] The atmosphere here is very good, and all kinds of decorations and introductions make people feel that Hong Kong is a financial center full of material desires. [Value for money] You can only look but not take.

The sightseeing part of the HKMA feels like the domestic banking and finance museum. The introduction to the Hong Kong dollar here is also quite interesting. But the highlight is the window where you can see the full view of the Bank of China and other buildings. The view is excellent.

The vast majority of mainland tourists do not know this excellent scenic spot. Most of them come from foreign tourists, India, Europe, America and Korea, and very few Hong Kong residents. I read this information from a travel note by the Honeycomb. In the past, senior players recommended to go to the free viewing floors of the Bank of China Building and the HSBC Building in Central, but they are shorter than those of the HKMA, and the viewing floors of the Bank of China Building have now been closed. The main entrance of the HKMA is on the sea, No. 8 Financial Street. From Guojin Phase 2 Mall to the first floor, there is a direct access to the HKMA. On the first floor of the HKMA, a visitor's card will be issued with the pass registration information, and then an elevator will be taken directly to the 55th floor. On the 55th floor of the HKMA, there is an exhibition hall and a library showing the development history of the HKMA. The exhibition hall is rich and interesting. It details the issuance process of banknotes in circulation in Hong Kong. There are many sensory games to help you understand the operation mechanism of Hong Kong's monetary system. It's very interesting. The most important thing is the 270 degree landing observation platform, half-mountain, central, part of the view of Victoria Harbour. The Bank of China Building, the HSBC Building, is under it. You can also see the lofty Pavilion on the top of the Taiping Mountain. It opens from 10 to 18 o'clock on weekdays, and the weekend time is slightly different. The group can also make an appointment for the tour guide service. Personally, it's about 2:30 p.m.

When I came to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, I learned that the original Hong Kong banknotes were issued by three banks: Standard Chartered Bank, Bank of China and HSBC. I also learned about the anti-counterfeiting characteristics of Hong Kong's 1,000 yuan banknotes and 10 yuan plastic banknotes. Standing in the window of the 55th floor and looking out, the once-high Yihe Building seems to have approached a lot.

Take the MTR to Central and walk to the Tung Chung Line Hong Kong Station. Exit E is on the first floor of the mall. As long as you register on the first floor, you can visit the Hong Kong Monetary Authority on the 55th floor for free. This is a great place to see the mountain view and the Victoria Harbour sea view.
