Architectural Features of the Legislative Council Building in Hong Kong

The building adopts neoclassical architectural style, imitating the architectural design of ancient Rome and Greece. It is surrounded by Ionian stone pillars about 17 meters high, with a dome in the center, and its magnificent appearance is impressive.

At the same time, the building also combines the architectural features of China. The four-slope roof of the building is paved with double-layer porcelain tiles, and the eaves are supported by carefully carved teak brackets in China, which is unique. In order to cope with the subtropical monsoon climate in Hong Kong, there is a arcade on the ground floor and a terrace on the first floor of the building, which can not only prevent direct sunlight from entering the building, but also facilitate ventilation and help to dissipate heat.
