the lung moon (dragon gate)

Standing on a prominent spot on Johnston Road for more than 60 years, this traditional restaurant (tea house) had once been a landmark of the Wanchai District... However, notwithstanding all its legendary past and that lots of people might think it deserved a better fate, its life had come to an end:

The site was sold for a "not too bad" price in July 2009;

A very "successful" last supper party was held on 30 November;

And, as scheduled, the entire building was bulldozed in spring 2010...
