Position is approximate, based on notes from Moddsey:
Observation Place would have been on Praya East just north of today's Tin Lok Lane. Observation Place also had a stone pier which in 1907 became known as Observation Street Wharf.

Reason for name
Observation Point was so named because after the British had taken possession in 1842 it was in this location Edward Belcher on HMS Sulphur surveyed the Latitude and Longitude of Hong Kong.
