Hi Andrew, yes, I believe the double tower shows the main entrance. I pass this area all the time on the huge highway that now runs across where the beach once stood! What a pity progress in HK is measured by the amount of concrete that can be poured. Phil

Thanks Phil.

I’ll add the appropriate pin. Yes, progress does cause change that older people might regret, but younger generations always see things as they are for them and don’t know, or possibly even care, what they are missing.  True all over the World.

regards Andrew
