As the opening credits are still rolling, the next view is a panorama of the area around City Hall courtesy of a camera shot taken from the walkway that surrounds the memorial garden. In the first image we can see the old Hong Kong Club, with the Hilton Hotel behind it (more on that later), the old Cable and Wireless building (now CCB Tower) as well as both the low and high blocks of City hall.
In the next frame we can see the Mandarin Oriental hotel, the old Star ferry carpark (soon to be demolished I believe, if not already), the previous, tiny (by comparison) St George's Building with Swire House (although called Union House at the time) behind it. In the final frame we get a nice view over the old Star ferry pier.
