context_page_description: The General Post Office is the headquarters of Hongkong Post. Built in 1976, it is located at Connaught Place, Central, Hong Kong. The office was adjacent to the former Star Ferry Pier, and it is adjacent to Jardine House and the International Finance Centre. The current building occupied a seafront location until 2007, since when reclamation works have led to it becoming inland.
  As of 2018, the building is scheduled for demolition, although there are efforts to preserve it as a historical landmark.
context_section_description: The GPO has been moved three times after several reclamations as it was essential to locate the office near the shore for receiving letters from ocean liners. Past locations of the GPO were:
  1841–1846: Above St. John's Cathedral, Garden Road (current Former Central Government Offices)
  1846–1911: Queen's Road Central, opposite D'Aguilar Street
  1911–1976: Junction of Des Voeux Road Central and Pedder Street (rebuilt into World-Wide House)
  1976–present: 2 Connaught Place, Central
