Love in Hong Kong - Pauline Teutscher (1983) - Connaught Place, Central
Julie's office appears to be located inside the former Connaught Centre (now Jardine House), but judging from the tiny interiors I think it's safe to assume the interior scenes were not filmed here and it was used for establishing shots only.
What I find interesting in my nerdy brain is the fact that in the second image you can see Henry Moore's "Oval with Points". According to wiki, this is "cast 3" of the sculpture but I can tell you it has since been moved to Exchange Square and the sculpture now in its place at this location is another Moore called "Double Oval".

Challenge of the Tiger - Bruce Le (1982) - Central Walkway, Connaught Place
A quick shot of Brad Harris surveying the area around Jardine House from the vantage point of the walkway that crosses Connaught Place. The bit of water that looks like the harbourside (or at least it did to me initially) is one of the ornamental pools next to Jardine House.

China Rose - George C. Scott (1983) - General Post Office, Central
Further to my suspicion that the film company couldn't film at the HK-Macau ferry terminal (for whatever reason), the scene where Scott and MacGraw are supposedly disembarking from the ferry was actually filmed next to the Post Office on Connaught Place. Of course, it could be that at the time this was the point for disembarking due to construction of Shun Tak? I hope someone in the know can relieve me of my ignorance.
