The first Hong Kong HSBC head office was located in Wardley House on Wardley Street (now known as Bank Street), when Queen's Road was still a waterfront.
Woot-Lee Street has now been renamed "Bank Street"

Have you ever had the impression that there used to be a street called "Profit Lane" on the board of the card game "Monopoly", but when you check the map of Hong Kong today, you don't seem to have seen this street?

Some people say that "Wardley Street" should be a mistranslation, because when looking at the English version of Wardley Street, a more appropriate translation should be "Wardley Street", but both "Wardley Street" and "Wardley Street" have been It is no longer important, because it has successfully upgraded itself, changed its name to "Bank Street" (Bank Street), and "moored to a good pier" because it is close to the Bank of China Building and the HSBC Head Office, and it feels like living next to it. "Da Masha" appeared in Central, which is definitely another inspirational story of changing his name and successfully transforming.

By the way, the former Woodbury Street originally connected Queen's Road Central and Connaught Road Central, dividing Statue Square to the east and west. The Statue of the Queen was located at the junction of Woodbury Street and Chater Road. In the 1930s, due to the expansion of the HSBC Head Office, which occupied part of the land of the old Hong Kong City Hall, Wardley Street was moved east to its current location, and the part that originally ran through the square was merged into Statue Square.
Since the scenery of this street is beautiful and the history of the street is legendary, it is definitely worth taking pictures here.
