背景 恆香老餅家於1920年在元朗創立，起初是一間傳統茶樓，其後轉為專營中式糕餅，並引入老婆餅等招牌食品，又率先採用白蓮蓉。元朗當時是墟市興旺的鄉鎮，茶樓與餅家服務周邊村落及市集客源，恆香在這樣的鄉郊商業環境中扎根。逾百年來它一直是香港的老字號糕點店，其餅食亦隨着本地中式餅藝的傳承而為人所識。

Hang Heung was founded in Yuen Long in 1920, beginning as a traditional tea house before turning to Chinese pastries, introducing signature items such as the wife cake and pioneering white lotus paste. Yuen Long was then a thriving market town, and tea houses and bakeries served the surrounding villages and market crowds, a rural commercial setting in which Hang Heung took root. For over a century it has remained an old and established bakery in Hong Kong, its pastries known as part of the continuation of local Chinese baking craft.

The Repulse Bay Hotel opens, inaugurated by Governor Stubbs, a celebrated pre-war resort hotel.

背景 淺水灣酒店於1920年開幕，由時任港督司徒拔主持，是戰前香港上流社會與外籍居民的度假勝地。酒店建於淺水灣海濱，其殖民風格建築與選址，為日後淺水灣一帶的住宅與消閒發展定下基調。古物諮詢委員會其後就其評級，肯定它在本地建築與消閒史上的位置。

The Repulse Bay Hotel opened in 1920, inaugurated by Governor Stubbs, and served as a celebrated retreat for the colony's elite and expatriate residents before the war. Sited on the Repulse Bay waterfront, its colonial architecture and location helped set the tone for later housing and leisure development of the area. The Antiquities Advisory Board later gave the building a historic grading, recognising its place in Hong Kong's architectural and leisure history.

背景 灣仔於1920至1930年代進行大幅填海，原有海岸線北移。新造土地築成告士打道，並形成今日灣仔北一帶，原本臨海的「海旁大道」亦隨之內移，成為內陸道路。灣仔區議會確認1921年展開工程，1921至1929年施工，部分文件記1931年完工。這次填海改變了灣仔的海岸線與道路格局，為日後的市區發展提供土地。

Wan Chai underwent major reclamation in the 1920s and 1930s, moving its original coastline northward. The reclaimed land carried Gloucester Road and formed today's Wan Chai North, while the former waterfront road was left inland. The Wan Chai District Council records that the works began in 1921 and ran from 1921 to 1929, with some documents giving completion in 1931. The reclamation changed the district's shoreline and road pattern and provided land for later urban development.

The Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple is founded here, later giving the district its name.

背景 嗇色園黃大仙祠於1921年在竹園現址肇建，官方只記建祠年份，具體開壇日期未能核實。道長梁仁菴早於1915年奉寶像來港，其後把祠廟遷至現址，成為今日嗇色園的所在。祠廟其後成為黃大仙區命名的由來，而善信新年「頭炷香」的傳統亦源於此祠，至今每年仍吸引大批善信到訪。

The Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple was founded at its present site in Chuk Yuen in 1921; official records give only the year, and the exact date of its opening rituals cannot be verified. The alchemist Leung Yan-por had brought the sacred statue to Hong Kong in 1915 and later moved the temple to this location. The temple went on to give the Wong Tai Sin district its name, and the New Year custom of offering the first incense stick originated here.

The Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower was originally part of the Kowloon-Canton Railway's terminus on the harbourfront; its main structure was completed in 1915, while its clock began operating in March 1921.

背景 深水埗碼頭於1924年啟用，成為深水埗及長沙灣居民往來中環的主要渡輪樞紐。在陸路交通尚未發達的年代，渡輪是跨海通勤的重要方式，碼頭因此一度人流興旺。其後隨着道路及隧道等陸路交通改善，渡輪需求下降，碼頭的作用亦逐漸沒落。官方只記錄啟用年份，未載精確月日。

The Sham Shui Po Ferry Pier opened in 1924 and became the main ferry hub for residents of Sham Shui Po and Cheung Sha Wan travelling to Central. In an era when road links were still limited, ferries were an important means of cross-harbour commuting, and the pier was once busy with passengers. As road and tunnel transport improved, demand for the ferries declined and the pier's role gradually faded. The official record notes only the year of opening, not the exact date.

背景 大嶼山昂坪的寶蓮禪寺於1924年正式正名，發展為具規模的佛教十方叢林。其淵源可追溯至1906年，大悅等三位僧人先在昂坪建立「大茅蓬」道場，作為修行之所；1924年的正名，標誌着道場由小型茅蓬發展為正式叢林。寺院其後逐步擴建，1993年寺旁的天壇大佛落成，令昂坪成為宗教與旅遊地標。

Po Lin Monastery on Ngong Ping, Lantau, was formally named in 1924 and developed into a substantial Buddhist centre for practice. Its origins trace back to 1906, when three monks established a hermitage known as the "Great Thatched Hut" as a place for spiritual retreat. The 1924 naming marked its growth from a small hermitage into a formal monastery. The monastery was later expanded, and in 1993 the Tian Tan Buddha was completed beside it, making Ngong Ping a religious and visitor landmark.

Hong Kong's first recorded flight took place at Kai Tak in 1925; the Civil Aviation Department dates it to Lunar New Year's Day that year, though the corresponding Gregorian date has not been separately verified. Kai Tak began as open ground usable for flying and gradually developed into a small airfield serving both civil and military purposes for years.
