The Observatory was established in 1883 as the Hong Kong Observatory. Early operations included meteorological and magnetic observations, a time service based on astronomical observations and a tropical cyclone warning service. The Hong Kong Observatory was built in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon in 1883. Observatory Road in Tsim Sha Tsui is so named based on this landmark. The Observatory is now surrounded by skyscrapers as a result of rapid urbanisation.
