After the meeting at the US Consulate (which was actually the Hilton Hotel), the two cross Garden Road and pick up a cab. The consulate has had a complete external makeover since then including a large foreboding wall (it was also recently revealed that the land it is on has the longest lease in China - courtesy of the very awesome David Webb). Down the road the view was once very open. You can see the old Govt HQ east wing on the left, but these days the whole road, and view, is crowded with skyscrapers.
