It is a panorama from 2 photos I took from the Four Seasons Hotel. It ends unfortunately at Wing Wo Street. It is more a photo of the skyline and not of the buildings on Connaught Road, but it is difficult to find any photos of this area. The following buildings are on this photo:

A    (Hang Seng Bank Headquarters Building, former Central Fire Station)
