Tsing Ma Bridge - World Longest Road and Rail suspension bridge - 6 lanes of roadway (upper) 2 MTR rail lines, 2 lanes of roadway (lower). It has a main span of 1,377 metres (4,518 ft) (more than the famous Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco) and a height of 206 metres (676 ft).
New & Old Guardians - CTVs monitors the entrance to this bank while the Stone Lions wait to pounce on would-be-robbers (heh, I'm just kidding about the stone lions).
Bank of China on the left, not sure about the one on the right and in the foreground is the Legislative Council of Hong Kong that was built during the early British colonial days.
The buildings look impressive and very nice at night. The lights are actually part of Symphony of Lights, a spectacular light and laser show synchronized to music and staged every night at 8:00pm. Recognized by the Guinness World Records as the world's "Largest Permanent Light and Sound Show".
A number of old buildings survived and are preserved.
The former police headquarters. Still undecided what to do with it. News is that it will be turned into a museum.
Pier to the iconic Star-ferry that plies between Hong Kong and Kowloon.
