Kitahara disembarks the ferry and heads out of the pier to catch a cab on Edinburgh place. Chang, the member of the rival Hong Kong gang, follows him out and also jumps in a passing cab. The car park on the right is the old Star Ferry pier carpark and was opened in 1957, making it one of the oldest structures in the area. It's actually the very last link to the old Star Ferry pier that was demolished in 2006 and so is quite historical, but because it's a carpark it's not deemed worthy of preservation. The ugly G.P.O on the other hand, a literal concrete block, opened twenty years later (making it younger than me) somehow attracts calls for preservation.
