KONGINSIGHT

Where Hong Kong property begins.

Every building in Hong Kong, in real 3D.

One map for the whole city — land-use zoning, statutory height limits, building age, land lots and school nets — plus the government's real 3D model of a building, and where the sun falls on it at the hour you pick. In 繁中, 简中 and English.

Free — the whole map, no account. No listings, no agent spam. Government open data, with attribution.

Why KongInsight is different

Hong Kong is the world's most vertical city — the flat two floors up has a different view, a different afternoon and a different price. Property portals give you a flat map and a photo. KongInsight gives you the building: its real shape and height, the rules written over it, and where the sun goes.

What's actually in it

Six layers, one map

what the government knows about a site, in one place

Tap any building, lot or zone and a card tells you what it is. No account, no pop-ups, no listings pushed at you.

  • Land-use zoning

    11,953 zones from the statutory plans — residential, commercial, GIC, green belt, village

  • Buildings

    342,249 footprints with height, storeys, floor area and year of completion

  • Building age

    the whole city shaded by decade — 1950s tenement or 2020s tower, at a glance

  • Land lots

    375,154 lots — the boundary the lease and the plot ratio actually follow

  • Statutory height limits

    the ceiling in mPD or storeys, and how much headroom the building has left

  • School nets

    all 36 primary nets, drawn down to the individual building

Real 3D, not a spun photo

the Lands Department's surveyed city mesh

Tap a building and its actual 3D model loads — the same survey the government publishes, with the neighbours around it, on real terrain.

  • Government 3D models

    textured mesh for the building and the block it stands in

  • Per-floor highlight

    move the cursor up the facade and it picks out one floor at a time

  • Real terrain

    the hills are in the model, so Victoria Peak and Lion Rock block what they really block

Sun and shadow, at the hour you care about

which floors get the light — and which never do

Choose a date and a time; KongInsight puts the sun where it really was over Hong Kong and drops the shadows of the buildings that surround yours.

  • Real solar position

    any date, any hour, computed for Hong Kong — not a generic sun arc

  • The neighbours count

    the towers next door are in the calculation, not assumed away

  • Probe a facade

    click a wall and see whether that exact spot is in sun at that moment

What we're building next

Shipping in the open. These are not on the map today and are not part of any plan you can buy right now:

  • Per-floor view score

    sea and mountain line-of-sight, floor by floor, from the same 3D mesh

  • Unit-level price context

    what the floor and the aspect are worth, from public transaction records

  • Shareable building reports

    one page you can send to a partner, a client or the family group chat

A trusted, neutral approach

Built only on free Hong Kong government open data — Lands Department, Town Planning Board, Education Bureau, CSDI and data.gov.hk — with attribution on the map. We sell the analysis, never the raw data, and we don't take listings: nothing is on this map because somebody paid to put it there.

FAQ

Is KongInsight free?

The map is free — every layer, the 3D models and sun & shadow, with no account. You get 5 detailed building lookups a day; a 14-day pass or Plus removes that limit.

What makes the 3D real?

The models are the Lands Department's own surveyed city mesh, streamed straight from government open data, on real terrain. The sun is the true solar position for Hong Kong at the date and time you pick — not a satellite photo on a turntable.

Where does the data come from?

Lands Department, Town Planning Board, Education Bureau, CSDI and data.gov.hk — all free open data, attributed on the map. Data © The Government of the HKSAR.

Do you list properties?

No. KongInsight is neutral property intelligence, not a listings portal, and no agent can pay to change what you see.

Languages?

繁體中文 · 简体中文 · English — all three, everywhere.

Can I share what I find?

Yes. Every view has a link, and whoever you send it to can open it without an account.
