Michael Chan Wai-Man's uncompromising gangster flick offers us a nice view of Des Voeux Road Central on the north shore of Hong Kong Island. The street was named after the 10th Governor of HK, Sir William Des Voeux. The busy intersection of Des Voeux Road Central, Chater Road and Pedder Street is a well chosen location to capture the district's pulsating ambience.
There's a nightly encounter of various shady gentlemen right at the Court of Final Appeal. The neo-classical building is also known as the Old Supreme Court Building. Its beautiful exterior is one of the declared monuments of Hong Kong.
Queensway is a major road in the Admiralty area of Central, Hong Kong. The four skyscrapers are (from left to right) Pacific Place, Conrad Hong Kong, Island Shangri-La and the Queensway Government Office Building.

These two identical skyscrapers are known as Harbour Centre and Great Eagle Centre (from left to right). Inside the two buildings, there are shopping facilities and business premises.
