It is the oldest church building in Hong Kong and is the oldest Anglican cathedral in the Far East.

This 13th-century English Gothic cathedral has stained glass windows and is a quiet place from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong.

Stroll through its peaceful tree-lined grounds.

It is an active church so on Sunday's there are services.  Please be respectful.

In 1996, the cathedral was declared a historic monument by the Hong Kong government.

Hours: Open 7 am to 6 pm daily for quiet meditation.
