The old marine police headquarters

Now called "1881" although it dates from 1883, but "3" is apparently unlucky, it's been redeveloped as another high end shopping precinct. From my 14th floor hotel room, I could watch the wedding parties doing photo shoots in the fairy lighted rooftop
garden. It's packed with stores like Chanel and Tiffany, with big bank UBS looming, appropriately for HK, overhead.
Back in the C19th the noontime cannon, marking GMT, let it rip across the harbor from here.
