Hong Kong is a Dependency which comes under Chinese rule so doesn't have a formal capital city. Victoria was regarded as the unofficial capital but it is now known as Central which is the official administrative capital of the island. ----
Under English common law tradition capitals do not necessarily have to be designated explicitly by statutes. Victoria had always been considered the capital of the former British crown colony.
The name "City of Victoria" is entrenched in the law of the territory. Nothing has been done to amend the legislation no matter before or after the 1997 transfer of sovereignty.
Nevertheless the name had fallen into disuse among Hongkongers well before (perhaps 20 or 30 years) the 1997 transfer of sovereignty. The urban area had expanded eastward, beyond its limits as stated in the statute, along the northern stretch of the island.. And most people refer to different parts of island, no matter within or outside the city by the names of the areas (i.e. neighbourhoods).
Central is one of the areas within the city. Other areas in the city include Wan Chai, Sheung Wan, Shek Tong Tsui.
