"Hello Kitty" murder site
Mike1989 (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: Mike1989.
The Hello Kitty Murder in Hong Kong refers to the case of a night club hostess who was kidnapped and tortured in an apartment in Tsim Sha Tsui in 1999. She eventually died over a month later, either by drug overdose or at the hands of the abductors. She was decapitated and her head was put in a Hello Kitty doll, hence the name of the case.
A 23-year-old night club hostess by the name of Fan Man-yee (樊敏儀) was kidnapped by three men: 34-year-old Chan Man-lok (陳文樂), 27-year-old Leung Shing-cho (梁勝祖) and 21-year-old Leung Wai-lun (梁偉倫). They took her to an apartment at No. 31 Granville Road, Tsim Sha Tsui,[2] where they imprisoned her. They beat and tortured her daily over a debt dispute of HK$20,000 (US$2,560). The apartment building in which the crime took place was demolished in September 2012.
After a month of imprisonment and torture, she was killed, dismembered and her skull was stuffed into a giant Hello Kitty mermaid doll. They discarded most of the other body parts. Only the woman's skull, one tooth and some internal organs were recovered.
The killing was exposed after the 14-year-old girlfriend of one of the three perpetrators reported having continual dreams of being haunted by Fan's ghost.
The murder quickly became a sensational story in the media.

Eastern Cross Harbour Tunnel
kjfitz (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: kjfitz.
The Eastern Harbour Crossing, abreviated as "EHC" is a tunnel in Hong Kong. It is a combined road and MTR rail link under Victoria Harbour between Quarry Bay in Hong Kong Island and Cha Kwo Ling in Kowloon.
The tunnel is branded by the operator, New Hong Kong Tunnel Company Limited, as Eastern Harbour Tunnel, although the government refers to the tunnel itself as Eastern Harbour Crossing and the legislation governing the tunnel is known as Eastern Harbour Crossing Ordinance.
The rail part connects Quarry Bay and Yau Tong stations of the MTR Tseung Kwan O Line. The road part connects Island Eastern Corridor and Kwun Tong Bypass.
In June 2005, the toll for using Eastern Harbour Crossing was raised from HK$15 to HK$25 for private vehicles and much more for other classes of vehicles. This has aroused dissatisfaction of the general public and shifted more traffic to the already congested Cross-Harbour Tunnel. The Government has looked at solutions to this and has included: raising the toll on the Cross-Harbour Tunnel, extending the franchise on the Eastern Harbour Crossing to allowing the owners more time to make a return on investment, merging the three tunnels into one management company or buying back the tunnel.

"Highcliff" by DLN Architects & Engineers
kkeps (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: kkeps.
Highcliff (Chinese: 曉廬) is a 252.4-metre (828-foot) tall skyscraper located on a south slope of Happy Valley on the Hong Kong Island in Hong Kong. The 75 storey (70 floors of which are livable space) building's construction began in 2000 and was completed in 2003 under a design by DLN Architects & Engineers. It was the Silver Winner of the 2003 Emporis Skyscraper Award, coming in second to 30 St Mary Axe in London. The tower is the tallest all-residential building in Hong Kong and the 95th tallest building in the world when measured to the highest architectural feature.
Highcliff is remarkably thin for such a tall building. Because of this, a passive wind damper was fitted to the top. This wind damper was the first of its kind for a residential building anywhere in the world. This was installed because of the number of typhoons which affect Hong Kong in the late summer.
Due to the visual effect of its proximity to The Summit, another very thin and tall building, the two together are often referred to as "The Chopsticks".

Ting Kau Bridge
The 1,177m long Ting Kau Bridge and the 500m long dual Approach Viaduct form a vital link in Hong Kong's new Route 3, connecting Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the new airport at Chek Lap Kok to the New Territories and the mainland. Two main ramps connect to the Tuen Mun Highway and the Western New Territories.
The outstanding features of this unique cable stayed bridge are the 3 towers with heights of 170m, 194m, and 158m, located on the Ting Kau headland, on a reclaimed island in Rambler Channel and on the north-west Tsing Yi shoreline respectively.
The arrangement of separate decks on both sides of the 3 towers contributes to the slender appearance of the bridge while acting favourably under heavy wind and typhoon loads. Each deck carries 3 traffic lanes and a hard shoulder. Spanning the 900m wide Rambler Channel, the Ting Kau Bridge ranks amongst one of the longest cable stayed bridges in the world.

Former site of the Queen's Pier
Queen's Pier, named after Queen Victoria, was a public ceremonial pier in front of City Hall in Edinburgh Place, Central, Hong Kong. Its two generations have served as a ceremonial pier as well as a public pier, and have witnessed the official arrival in Hong Kong of all of Hong Kong's governors since 1925; Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II landed there in 1975, Charles and Diana in 1989.
The pier, built along the newly reclaimed waterfront, was designed in a modern utilitarian style, and was opened by Maurine Grantham, wife of Governor Alexander Grantham in June 1954.
On 26 April 2007, the pier was officially closed by the government in order to facilitate land reclamation, soon after the adjacent Star Ferry pier was closed. There was fierce opposition by conservationists, who carried over their campaign to preserve the landmark. Police officers evicted some 30 protesters from the site on 1 August 2007; activists filed for a judicial review, and the High Court hearing began on 7 August. On 10 August, the court dismissed the request.
Finally, the Queen's Pier was completely demolished in February 2008. Its base piles were also removed in March 2008. In 2008, since dismantling, the government attempts to create the appearance of public support for reassembling the pier at the new waterfront has been criticised by conservationists.

PRISM Whistleblower Edward Snowden's Hideout
jdubble07 (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: jdubble07.
Edward Snowden is an American former technical contractor and Central Intelligence Agency employee, who worked as a contractor for the National Security Agency (NSA) before disclosing details of a classified NSA spy program to the press. Snowden released classified material on top-secret NSA programs including the PRISM surveillance program to The Guardian and The Washington Post in June 2013. Snowden said his disclosure of PRISM and FISA orders related to NSA data capture efforts was an effort to expose what he believes is excessive government surveillance of the American people. He traveled to Hong Kong before the disclosure was publicized, expressing hope of eventually being granted asylum in a country such as Iceland.
Snowden is reportedly staying here in Hong Kong at The Mira Hong Kong hotel.
