How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

The domed colonial building in Central that the game calls Government House.

The real place

The fan wiki notes that the game's Government House is modelled on the former Legislative Council Building, a declared monument. It opened in 1912 as the Supreme Court, housed the Legislative Council from 1985 to 2011 and is now the Court of Final Appeal. A statue of Themis, blindfolded, stands above the entrance.

Visiting

View it from Statue Square, between the building and the HSBC tower; the two are a minute apart. Chater Garden next door is a quiet place to sit.
