This picture was taken between December 1958 and March 1951,probably in the mid-1950s.
The 大成酒家was also a famous restaurant in Wanchai in the 1950s.
Was 'Lung Moon' called something different?
Is the building with the big blue sign in the middle of the picture the Lung Moon (龍門) restaurant? It looks like it, but the second character on the sign doesn't look like 門.
So have I got the wrong building, or did it change names at some point?

The photo showed 龍鳳 Lung Fung (The dragon & the Phoenix)﹐ the same as the one in Mongkok. I believe OldTimer once mentioned this somewhere.

Lung Moon Closing
I just heard this place is closing next month. I think this is a shame but will make the effort to go before it disappears :(
Does anyone know the details?
Re: Lung Moon Closing
Hi there,
All I could remember was that, there was a high profile piece of news mentioning the block had been sold. The block is very likely to be knocked down for redeveloment.
