Geographical Boundaries and Locations of Victoria
The City of Victoria is located in Hong Kong, within the administrative area of Central and Western at coordinates 22.2875 latitude and 114.14417 longitude. Situated on Hong Kong Island, the urban settlement spans a geographic area defined by statutory boundaries rather than an official elevation figure, operating within the Asia/Hong_Kong timezone.
Geographically, the settlement is bounded on the north by the harbour. The western boundary extends from the north-west angle of Inland Lot No. 1299 southwards for 850 feet, while the southern boundary follows a contour line across the hill above Belchers at an elevation of 700 feet above principal datum. The eastern boundary traces a line from the Government Pier along Hing Fat Street, Causeway Road, Moreton Terrace, Cotton Path, and Wong Nei Chong Road to the south-east angle of Inland Lot No. 1364.
Within these geographical limits, the urban territory historically expanded into four distinct regional sections known as wans, stretching across a coastal strip that includes modern localities such as Kennedy Town, Shek Tong Tsui, Sai Ying Pun, Sheung Wan, Central, Wan Chai, Happy Valley, the Mid-Levels, East Point, and parts of Causeway Bay. Six historical boundary stones established in 1903 still mark portions of this geography, reaching from Causeway Bay to Kennedy Town.

Geographically, the locality is defined by precise legal boundaries. The northern limit is bordered by the harbour. The western boundary is formed by a line running due north and south through the north-west angle of Inland Lot No. 1299, extending southwards for a distance of 850 feet (260 m). The southern boundary extends from the western boundary along a contour located 700 feet above the principal datum in the vicinity of the hill above Belchers, utilizing a benchmark of 17.833 feet (5.435 m) below the Rifleman's Bolt, before connecting to the eastern boundary. The eastern limit traces the west side of the Government Pier at Bay View, continues along Hing Fat Street and Causeway Road to Moreton Terrace, follows Moreton Terrace to the south-east corner of Inland Lot No. 1580, extends in a straight line for 80 feet (24 m), proceeds along Cotton Path to the west side of Wong Nei Chong Road, and reaches the south-east angle of Inland Lot No. 1364.
Historically, the area expanded west to east along a coastal strip measuring 6.4 kilometres (4 mi) in the 1890s. The territory was divided historically into four wans, known as Sai Wan, Sheung Wan, Choong Wan, and Ha Wan, which were further subdivided into nine yeuks. Boundary stones established in 1903 stretched from Causeway Bay to Kennedy Town, with six remaining preserved today.
