china light building
amazingly enough this beautiful art deco building is still standing. however with the spaghetti junction of flyovers in front etc it is not quite so visible. i walked past this place on my way to school for some 10 years. on the right of the photo was a stone set of steps leading up to kadoorie avenue - scary if you were alone - weirdos would often expose themselves en route , i guess we grew to believe in safety in numbers and took it all in our strides scaring them off with nervous communal laughter

I remember the building and steps well, I lived in the house top right in the photo [28 Kadoorie Avenue] from 1989 to 1998.
CLP BUILDING
What a wonderful old building a shame to destroy it.Many times i went past it up the steps to Kadoorie ave when i lived there in the late sixties....happy days.
Nice building
It's now difficult to take a photo like this one as the flyover blocked the view. I had to walk into the middle of the vacant plot under the flyover for a photo.
When you walk along Kadoorie Avenue, you can find the land lot boundary stones/plates of CLP HQ (even other houses). However, some of them are hidden by the floor tiles. Is anyone know the whole set of land lot nos of CLP HQ?
Land Lot Boundary Plate
The Land lot Boundary Plates of CLP HQ at Kadoorie Avenue are: KIL 6005, KIL 6035, KIL 6036, KIL 6037, KIL 6038.
