Historical Building in the Central of Hong Kong

This fascinating building, Standard Chartered Bank building, is facing to the Vitoria Harbour on the Des Vœux Road, Central, Hong Kong. The building is dated back to 1859. The flight of white marble stairs in front is leading to the main entrance of the building. The lobby was beautifully constructed with super high ceiling, followed by another short flight of stairs to another level. Amazingly on the right, there are two standing giant bronze sculptures in black . One is the Right Honorary James Wilson (1805-1860) and the other, Mr John Paterson (1822-1880). Both were significant founders of the bank. More over, there are two visibly, brightly stained glass windows (L10m x W2.5m) exhibited on the wall reflecting Hong Kong in the past and present. For the past from top, Bird cage, Bamboos, Neon Light Signs, Sampan, Tram and Rickshaw. For the present from top, Aeroplane, Computer, High Rise Buildings, the Bank Building and the Mass Transit Railway. It’s well worth to take a visit and learn more. #yuppije2023 #yuppije #本地遊 #urbanexplorer #mytripvlog #tripblazers #awesomepic #historicalbuilding
