BRIEF BY OVERSEAS ESTATE DEPARTMENT FOR THE VISIT OF
LORD CAITHNESS TO SHANGHAI : NOVEMBER 1991
DIPLOMATIC ESTATE IN SHANGHAI
1. A sheet of Essential Facts about the estate in Shanghai
and a draft future strategy is attached.
Offices and Residence
2. Prior to the move of Cultural Section last year the accommodation did not function satisfactorily either as an
office or as a Residence. The offices were cramped and the Residence lacked privacy.
3. We have recently completed a full refurbishment of the premises including improved office layout and security and
modern Residence kitchen and bathroom installations. The work
was undertaken by a Hong Kong based consultant and local
labour.
