The history of colonial buildings is very interesting. Built in 1848 in the Central area house with colonnade he stood on the place where now stands the Bank of China Tower.
In 1982, it was decided to demolish the building to be able to build skyscrapers, but the building had the status of an important historical and cultural monument. It was decided to dismantle it and rebuild in a different, less expensive quarter. On the ground floor there is a small exhibition hall on the second - a restaurant.
