Queens Pier is lit up in front of skyline in Hong Kongs central financial district
The Queens Pier (bottom C) is lit up in front of the skyline in Hong Kongs central financial district July 31, 2007. The government has issued an eviction order for activists who have camped at the pier for three months to leave by midnight on Tuesday. The pier, a colonial symbol which was used by the British royal family and the Hong Kong governors for arriving in and leaving Hong Kong during the British era, will be demolished to pave way for planned reclamation and roadworks.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Bobby Yip, the iconic Queens Pier stands illuminated against the stunning skyline of Hong Kong's central financial district. Taken on July 31,2007, this image holds a deeper significance as it documents a pivotal moment in the city's history. The government had recently issued an eviction order for activists who had been camping at the pier for three months. The deadline to vacate was set for midnight on Tuesday, adding an air of urgency and tension to this already poignant scene. The pier itself carries immense historical value as a colonial symbol that once served as a gateway for British royalty and Hong Kong governors during the British era. However, its fate now hangs in uncertainty as plans are underway to demolish it in order to make way for reclamation and roadworks. This impending demolition adds another layer of melancholy to Yip's photograph, emphasizing the transient nature of even grand structures against the backdrop of progress. Through his lens, Yip captures not only a visually striking composition but also encapsulates a significant chapter in Hong Kong's evolution. This image serves as both a reminder of past glory and an emblematic representation of change – where tradition meets modernity amidst conflicting sentiments about preservation versus development.
