Submitted by Klaus on Sun, 2020-05-17 22:26

Newspaper article from August 1996:

Redevelopment of the area where the old TST Market (on the photo bottom right) stood. The new built  One Peking Road looks different to the proposed one showed below the photo. Also, the park sketched in front of the former Water Police Station wasn't built.

More information probably in Chinese.
