List of Hong Kong post offices

The postal system in Hong Kong was established in 1841 and came under the control of the British Empire's Royal Mail in 1843. Authority over Hong Kong's post offices changed to Hongkong Post during the handover of Hong Kong to China on July 1, 1997. In April 2020, Hongkong Post had 120 post offices—30 on Hong Kong Island, 35 in Kowloon, and 56 in the New Territories and Outlying Islands. In addition, its three mobile post offices provide postal services in remote areas in the New Territories. Following is a list of current and former post offices in Hong Kong.

Overview

The postal system in Hong Kong was established in August 1841, with the first post office opening i on April 15, 1842. When Hong Kong became a British Crown Colony in 1843, its post offices were placed under control the Postmaster General of the United Kingdom in London, England. The various iterations of the General Post Offices became landmarks in Hong Kong.
Many post offices were closed during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong during World War II, with most locations reopening between 1942 and 1945, when the United Kingdom regained control. The British also used the post office locations for political gain, such as distributing political booklets at post office locations.
In 1960, mobile post offices were introduced to serve remote locations and villages. During the 1970s, Hong Kong's postage stamp designs led to it becoming an international philatelic centre, leading to the designation of several post offices as philately sales centers in 1975. Thousands of people line up outside these post offices at midnight the day before new stamp releases. For a May 1997 stamp release, 23 of Hong Kong's post offices opened early to accommodate lines that were long.
Authority over the post offices changed to Hongkong Postal during the handover of Hong Kong to China on July 1, 1997. In April 2020, Hongkong Postal had 124 post offices—30 on Hong Kong Island, 35 in Kowloon, and 56 in the New Territories and Outlying Islands and 3 mobile offices.

Postal network

The Postmaster General is responsible for the establishment of post offices in Hong Kong. Under the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines, residents of urban areas should have access to a post office within from where they live or work. For rural areas, a distance of was established. Hongkong Post supplements its remote post office locations with mobile post offices.
