The University of Hong Kong

The oldest university in the city, the University of Hong Kong, or HKU as locals like to call it, was founded in 1911 and is regarded as one of the top universities in the world. Sitting pretty on a hillside in Pok Fu Lam, the majority of the campus buildings are colonial-style and serve as a hugely popular backdrop for wedding and tourist photos. The campus includes the University Museum and Art Gallery, which houses Chinese artefacts and contemporary art, which also happens to be the oldest museum in Hong Kong.
