History

Prior to the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong, the Government House has always been the office location for the Governor of Hong Kong. After the transfer in 1997, the first Chief Executive of Hong Kong, Tung Chee Hwa choose not to reside in the Government House, which relocated the office to the Government Secretariat.

When Donald Tsang assumed office in June 2005, he decided to reside in the Government House again and initiated a multiple months length remodeling for the house. In January 2006, the office relocated back to the Government House.
