Admiralty (Chinese: 金鐘, Pinyin: Jīnzhōng, lit. "Golden Bell") is an area on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong, in Central (though many consider it a separate district). It is located on the eastern end of the Central and Western District, bordered by Wan Chai to the east and Victoria Harbour to the north. It is so-called because it was the former location of '"Admiralty Dock," which housed a naval yard. The dock was later destroyed when land was reclaimed and developed northward as the HMS Tamar naval base. The Chinese name, Golden Bell, refers to a golden bell once housed at the dock.
