The Chinese Stuntman - Ho Chung Tao (1981) - HSBC Building, Central

Here's a quick glimpse of the older (and much more stylish, in my opinion) HSBC building as seen from the Des Voeux Road side. The famous lions still adorn the same entrance of the building today even though they are actually copies of the original lions that stood outside HSBC HQ in Shanghai. These fellas are still covered in bullet and shrapnel damage from when the Japanese invaded in December 1941.
