Hong Kong Special Administrative Region 1:50 000 Topographic Map

A set of 3D digital maps show the interior structure of a building or a venue. It includes floors, units, place-of-interest and other indoor map features which supports indoor navigation, indoor spatial analysis, etc.

The 3D Indoor Network, a vector type dataset, is derived from various source of data and data collected by field checking. It is graphical with attribute data that can be accessed, queried and displayed. It covers the interior of the selected buildings, in which the 3D Indoor Map was created. It connects to the 3D Pedestrian Network outside the buildings to enable indoor outdoor navigation. Its database scheme aligns with 3D Pedestrian Network.

Pedestrian Network is a set of 3D line features derived from road features and road furnitures from Lands Department and Transport Department. A number of attibutes are associated with the pedestrian network such as spatially related street names. Besides, the pedestrian network includes information like wheelchair accessibilty and obstacles to facilitate the digital inclusion for the needy.

Digital data of 3D models featuring geometry model, texture map and textual attribute to represent the geometrical shape, appearance and position of three types of ground objects i.e. Building, Infrastructure and Terrain in Max, 3ds, FBX and VRML formats.

3D Visualisation Map (2017)

The 3D Visualisation Map (Individualised models) are a set of digital data of 3D models featuring geometry models and texture maps to represent the geometrical shape, appearance and position of different types of ground objects, including building, infrastructure, vegetation, waterbody, terrain and generic (others). The dataset covers the whole territory of Hong Kong. You can click the link below to access the 3D Visualisation Map (https://3d.map.gov.hk/).

The 3D Visualisation Map (Non-textured models) are a set of digital data of 3D models featuring geometry models to represent the geometrical shape and position of different types of ground objects, including building, infrastructure and terrain. The dataset covers the whole territory of Hong Kong. You can click the link below to access the 3D Visualisation Map (https://3d.map.gov.hk).

The 3D Visualisation Map (Tile-based models) are based on the mesh model made from the oblique aerial images. The dataset covers the whole territory of Hong Kong. You can click the link below to access the 3D Visualisation Map (https://3d.map.gov.hk/).

The aerial photo flight index shows the aerial photo and flight information, including photo number, shooting position, photo coverage, date of flight, flying height etc., of the aerial photographs taken by Survey and Mapping Office (SMO). There are three file formats, XLS / XLSX, KML and KMZ for download. The file in KML and KMZ file format is geo-referenced to World Geodetic System (WGS84), containing both aerial photo and flight information, while the file in XLS / XLSX file format only contains the aerial photo information.

Boundary map of District Lands Officesin geotagged format with contact information including phone number and address

A polygon showing the permanent buildings or structures, including the building footprint. Attributes include the building types, building names, building height etc.

Building Licence is the document issued to indigenous/ eligible villager in the New Territories to build house on his own agricultural land held under the Block Government Lease. The information provided includes location of Building Licence with attribute information such as Building Licence number, licence type, permitted structure height, etc. This dataset is one of the datasets in the Land Parcel Framework Spatial Data Theme.

Cumulative data of Certificate of Compliance issued from 2018 onwards.

The Coordinate Reference System maintained by Lands Department includes both horizontal and vertical datums. HK1980 Geodetic Datum and HK1980 Grid System are the horizontal datum while the Hong Kong Principal Datum (HKPD) is the vertical datum.

This Application Programming Interface (API) provides instant conversion between HK 1980 Grid Coordinates (Northing and Easting) and WGS84 (ITRF96) Geodetic Coordinates (Latitude and Longitude). The conversion methods, parameters and formulas used in the coordinate conversion tool provided in this API are maintained by the Survey and Mapping Office, Lands Department. It is only applicable for coordinates within Hong Kong. Users SHOULD NOT use the results for applications requiring precise point positions. Transformation between datums does not improve the accuracy. In most cases, the transformation coordinates would be less accurate, because of the errors in the transformation and projection computation would be added to the results. Please seek advice from professional land surveyors. For enquiry, please contact the Geodetic Survey Section, Survey and Mapping Office, Lands Department. For details, please refer to User Manual (English Only): http://www.geodetic.gov.hk/transform/tformAPI_manual.pdf

Lands Department captures aerial photographs at various flying heights over different years covering the whole territory of Hong Kong. DAP-L0 is a digital compressed image of these aerial photographs which is saved in 300 dpi image resolution in JPEG format.

1:1000 land boundary maps of administrative areas, land disposition and regulated uses in FGDB, DWG, DGN and GML formats.

DOP1000-1963 has a ground sampling distance of 0.1m which is compiled from aerial photographs taken in Year 1963 in GeoTIFF format with Worldfile. It covers most of the Hong Kong land areas including the New Territories, Kowloon and Hong Kong Island except some places, including the border areas, Ping Chau and a few hill tops, where suitable 1963 aerial photographs are not available.

The DOP1000-1976 Digital Orthophotos, with a ground sampling distance of 0.1m, were produced using aerial photographs taken in January, June and August of 1976 at a flying height of about 4,000 feet. The Orthophotos consist of 782 tiles covering Hong Kong Island, and partially include areas such as Yau Tsim Mong, Kowloon City, Wong Tai Sin, Kwun Tong, Kwai Tsing, Tsuen Wan, Tuen Mun, Yuen Long, Tai Po, Sha Tin and Sai Kung. The Orthophotos are provided in GeoTIFF format attached with a world file containing geo-referencing data in Hong Kong 1980 Grid.
