Des Voeux Road Central, main artery of Victoria, has the crenellated appearance which typifies so many Hong Kong streets during the current period of re-building and development. Three- and four-storey buildings, and the vacant sites on which such buildings recently stood, alternate with the modern concrete towers which are taking their place in the new Hong Kong. At the very end of the street, merging into the grey background of the Peak, can just be distinguished the outlines of the steel girder frame of the new Chartered Bank building which is so far-the tallest structure in the Colony.
