Where did you get these memorable pictures and videos. I think I 've been to those places either one or twice. Usually when my family went to the New Teritory area, we had sea food for lunch. Yummy. Those were the younger years. Thanks for showing.
仲有一啲超大型嘅戲院,我喺九龍人,新蒲崗有一間戲院叫麗宮戲院。可以坐過千人。還有一啲超大型嘅酒樓,例如尖沙咀海城夜總會。呢間中式酒樓夜總會,我細個跟阿爸去飲,可以擺個百圍以上。記唔記得尖東嗰邊啲夜總會,中國城,大富豪等等,已經消失晒啦。我第一份工,俾老闆叫我去Canton disco 寫program,80年代嘅disco而家都執晒啦。消失咗嘅嘢實在太多啦!
Thank you for the memories. When President Nixon visited HK. I heard he stayed in HK Hilton . Those were the days. Thanks again.

He really did? Most probably. Hilton in Chinese was originally 美國酒店, so, an acclaimed US statesman would probably stay in there. Hilton was pretty new when Nixon was around in HK. in the mid-sixties.

@WillsReCollection you are absolutely right about it. I saw Henry Kissinger in HK. It was around the 70s or 80s. Hilton was still brand new during that time. Time flew by when we had a good time.
@@WillsReCollection Agree. 卜公碼頭 was named after Sir Henry A. Blake, the 12th Governor of HK (Nov. 1898 - July 1903). It's different from 皇后碼頭. It should make your top 10 list.

@@WillsReCollection So miss them particularly your photo of Hilton hotel in Central. It was so grand and had a beautiful big roundabout outside. My schools and university were in Kowloon, so not much chance visiting there.

@@dyiu38 I miss Hilton Hotel too. It was a magnificent building. My school days were spent in Mid Level, but never had I a chance to visit there, not until I started working.😊
It is ashame that Hong Kong government do not value old historic buildings. For me the saddest lost are as follows: Railway station on Kowloon side, all that's left is a clock tower; HSBC original building, now replace with the ugliest building in the world; Star Ferry terminal on HK side, now we have a ferris wheel; the Queen's pier, suffered the same fate as Star Ferry.
Sir Shiu, why you didn't put HK club building and Old HK's post office on your list? Those European Architectures were a far more prestigious on its design!

Maybe it is because most of us local Chinese are not allowed in HK Club building, so have never seen it. Unless if you worked as waiters and other service personnel.
