    Foreign Correspondents' Club Hong Kong

Cited as the most famous press club in the world, the Foreign Correspondents’ Club Hong Kong (FCC) has a rich past, dating back to 1943. Journalist members have been eyewitness to history-in-the-making across Asia. The FCC, one of Hong Kong’s most well loved private clubs, is housed in a beautiful, colonial building in Central and is still an important media hub that provides a neutral platform for an impressive selection of local and international speakers across a range of topics. Membership is open to journalists and non-journalists. Reciprocal clubs exist across the globe.
