How it's used
This is the oldest Anglican church in Hong Kong and a well known landmark in Central. Locals often refer to it simply as 聖約翰座堂 in formal contexts, but the full name is commonly used in casual conversation to avoid ambiguity. It serves as a popular meeting point for people navigating the busy streets around Garden Road.
