Churches

There are 93 Catholic churches and chapels in Hong Kong and over 1,400 Protestant congregations.

Hong Kong's oldest church is the Anglican St John's Cathedral, founded in 1849. It is a declared monument and is situated in Garden Road, Central District.

Applications to film in Catholic churches are handled by the Hong Kong Catholic Social Communications Office. To film in other churches, please contact the pastor of the individual church.

Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC)

The HKCEC and Extension include an office and trade mart, exhibition halls, convention halls and meeting rooms as well as cafes and restaurants. It is linked to a complex that includes two hotels, offices and residential apartments. The Extension, finished in June 1997, was the site of the historic Handover Ceremony on July 1, 1997, when Hong Kong was reunified with the mainland of China. The distinctive silver building, with a wing-shaped roof, is designed to look like a flying gull. Applications to film in the HKCEC can be made to the Sales Manager. (See Contact List)
