Hongkongers have flocked to the Fenwick Pier before it closes this Friday after 69 years.
Built along the coastline of Wan Chai, the pier was the port of call for tens of thousands of foreign sailors in its heyday.

But like many historic sites located on prime land along the city’s famed Victoria Harbour, the pier and the arcade are suffering the fate of demolition as the government takes back the land for redevelopment.
