Star Ferry Pier & Clock Tower

It is so sad to hear that the Star Ferry pier and its clock tower, one of the city's iconic buildings, are to be replaced by a massive shopping centre. It's really a bad idea since this is a part of Hong Kong's history and it is still so popular. Hong Kong already has too many shopping malls. Our culture is disappearing. Macau has done better than us. They preserve their heritage well and hence provide more cultural services to tourists. They can both preserve their own culture and attract tourists. The Star Ferry is still attractive. Can't we see how many foreigners gather and take photos of Victoria Harbour there everyday? Queen's Pier is to be demoished too, just to make way for a road linking Sheung Wan and Wan Chai. In such a small place like Hong Kong, is it necessary? Is it worthwhile to demolish the unique pier to gain that bit of convenience? I don't think so. Heritage should not be judged simply by age but also by the social and cultural significance. A heritage building will be different when it is relocated. Missing is the historical sense and context.
