Harbour Place

Harbour Place (Chinese: 海濱南岸) is a private housing estate in Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong. History Hunghom Peninsula Formerly called Hunghom Peninsula (紅灣半島) and built on the reclaimed land of Hung Hom Bay, it was an HOS estate comprising 2,470 flats completed by the Hong Kong government in 2002. Harbour Place Since the government decided to suspend the scheme, Hunghom Peninsula was sold to Sun Hung Kai Properties and New World Development in February 2004. In November 2004, the developers decided to demolish and rebuild the buildings. The environmentalists, legislators and citizens were worried about the waste pollution and strongly opposed the plan. One month later, due to public concerns, the developers decided not to demolish the buildings and renovate existing flats and upgrade facilities instead. In 2008, the extensive renovation and refurbishment of what was once a public housing estate into a luxury residential complex was completed, the flats renamed to Harbour Place (海濱南岸) and were sold to the public. Property description and facilities Harbour Place comprises seven towers with a 64,000 square feet (5,900 m2) clubhouse with food and beverage service and an independent shopping arcade. Harbour Place also offers a bowling alley, games room, movie theater, karaoke room, gym, basketball, tennis, badminton courts and both indoor and outdoor swimming pools. Leung Chin-man appointment controversy In August 2008, Leung Chin-man, former Permanent Secretary for Housing, Planning and Lands (Housing) and Director of Housing, joined New World China Land as executive director and vice-chairman of the company. This raised public concern on conflict of interest since Leung involved in the deal of Hung Hom Peninsula with New World China Land's parent company, New World Development, during his term of service. The Government and Legislative Council also involved in investigating Leung's case. One week later, New World China Land announced to terminate employment contract with Leung without any compensation. See also Hung Hom station Royal Peninsula References
Harcourt Garden

Harcourt Garden (Chinese: 夏慤花園; Jyutping: haa6 kok3 faa1 jyun4) is a small urban park in Admiralty, Hong Kong, constructed in the mid-1990s. To the east of the park is the Hong Kong Police Headquarters while to the west is Admiralty bus station. Like the adjacent Harcourt Road, the park is named for Admiral Cecil Harcourt, de facto governor of Hong Kong from September 1945 to June 1946. History The park is on land reclaimed from Victoria Harbour in 1863. As part of the large naval and military installations that dominated this area until the 1970s and 1980s, this site was formerly occupied by the Wellington Battery and the Military Hospital, all associated with the Wellington Barracks. The adjacent military arsenal is recalled in the name of Arsenal Street. In 2013 to 2018, the garden was closed due to the expansion of Admiralty station for the South Island Line and the Sha Tin to Central Link. The garden now has a clock tower, new entrances to the station and several art pieces. Refurbishment As of 2020, the park has been reopened after the construction directly below the site for the extension of Admiralty station. This expansion houses the terminus platforms of the new MTR South Island line (East) and Sha Tin to Central Link. The MTR has refurbished the garden and moved it to the rooftop of the station building.

Harcourt Garden

Harcourt Garden (夏慤花園) est un petit parc public de Hong Kong situé dans le quartier d'Admiralty (en) et construit au milieu des années 1990. À l'est du parc se trouve le siège de la police de Hong Kong tandis qu'à l'ouest se trouve la station de bus d'Admiralty. Tout comme Harcourt Road (en), qui se trouve à proximité, le parc est nommé en l'honneur de l'amiral Cecil Harcourt (en), gouverneur de Hong Kong de facto de septembre 1945 à juin 1946. Histoire Le parc se situe sur un terre-plein construit sur Victoria Harbour en 1863. Faisant partie des grandes installations navales et militaires qui dominaient cette zone jusque dans les années 1970 et 1980, ce site était autrefois occupé par la batterie Wellington et l'hôpital militaire, tous deux associés à la caserne Wellington. L'arsenal militaire adjacent est commémoré par le nommage d'Arsenal Street. De 2013 à 2018, le parc est fermé en raison de l'agrandissement de la station de métro Admiralty de la South Island Line et de la Sha Tin to Central Link (en). Remise à neuf En 2020, le parc est rouvert après la construction directement en dessous du site d'une extension de la station Admiralty. Cette extension abrite les plates-formes terminus de la nouvelle ligne MTR South Island (Est) et Sha Tin to Central Link. La compagnie du métro de Hong Kong a pour l'occasion rénové le parc.

Sinagoga Ohel Leah

La Sinagoga Ohel Leah (en mandarí: 猶太教莉亞堂) (en hebreu: בית הכנסת אוהל לאה) és un temple jueu a la ciutat de Hong Kong, Xina. Aquest temple ha format part de la vida social i religiosa de la comunitat jueva hongkonesa des de fa més d'un segle. La història de la comunitat jueva de Hong Kong es remunta als anys 1850, i aquesta comunitat és formada per famílies procedents de diversos països. Al principi la comunitat era principalment formada per persones sefardites, i la sinagoga es trobava sota l'autoritat de la congregació espanyola i portuguesa de Londres. Tanmateix, al segle xxi els seus membres provenen de diferents països de la diàspora jueva. La contribució de tres germans de la influent família de comerciants indis Sassoon va ser important en la creació del principal centre jueu de Hong Kong. La sinagoga porta el nom de la seva mare, Ohel Leah. Els germans Jacob, Edward, i Meyer Sassoon, van comprar el terreny sobre el qual es va construir la sinagoga l'any 1902. L'edifici és d'estil jueu oriental, consta de dos pisos i d'un balcó al pis de dalt, destinat a les dones. L'any 1998 va ser sotmès a un programa de restauració que va ser premiat per la UNESCO, i avui dia està protegit com a edifici històric de grau I. Tot i ser una sinagoga ortodoxa, Ohel Leah comparteix les seves instal·lacions amb la United Jewish Congregation of Hong Kong, en un lloc que està al costat del Jewish Community Centre, un indret de trobada per a les activitats socials i culturals dels membres de la comunitat jueva hongkonesa.

Ohel Leah Synagogue

The Ohel Leah Synagogue (Hebrew: בית הכנסת אהל לאה, romanized: Beit Ha-Knesset Ohel Leah; Chinese: 猶太教莉亞堂; Jyutping: jau4 taai3 gaau1 lei6 ngaa3 tong4) is a Modern Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at the junction of Robinson Road and Castle Road, in the Mid Levels on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. Overview Together with the adjacent Jewish Recreation Club and the Jewish Community Centre, the synagogue and associated facilities have formed the center of Jewish social and religious life in Hong Kong since its establishment in 1902. Originally the community was mostly Baghdadi Sephardic Jews and the synagogue was under the superintendence of the Haham of the Spanish and Portuguese Congregation of London. The congregation is now fully independent and has members from across the Jewish diaspora. Most of Hong Kong's Jews live only a short distance away from the synagogue. An example of British Colonial Edwardian architecture, the two-storied, whitewashed, multi-turreted Synagogue nestles amid the soaring high-rises of steel and glass perched on the Mid-Levels of Hong Kong Island. The synagogue was designed by the architects Leigh & Orange and was erected in 1901–1902. In 1998, the synagogue underwent a US$6 million restoration which returned its interiors and exteriors to their original state. The name Ohel Leah commemorates Leah Sassoon, the mother of the Sassoon brothers Jacob, Edward, and Meyer who donated the land for building the Synagogue. The Sassoons were among the earliest Sephardic merchants from India to settle in Hong Kong during the mid to late 19th century. Ohel Leah is a Modern Orthodox congregation and received its first officially appointed rabbi in 1961. Three other Jewish congregations have also emerged more recently in Hong Kong: the Sephardic, which is dominated by Israeli expatriates; the Chabad Lubavitch; and the United Jewish Congregation, which is aligned with the more liberal Reform and Conservative movements. Many worshippers, however, hold concurrent memberships in several congregations. Conservation The historic synagogue was listed as a Grade I historic building in July 1987. By December 1987, the listing was voluntarily removed as there was talk of demolishing the building. In order to provide the building with immediate protection against demolition, the Antiquities Authority of the Hong Kong Government declared it a proposed monument. Ohel Leah Synagogue was consequently saved based on a preservation arrangement agreed between Government and the owner. It was relisted as a Grade I historic building in 1990. Its renovation in 1998 obtained the Outstanding Project Award of the 2000 UNESCO Asia Pacific Heritage Awards for Culture Heritage Conservation.
