Ocean Terminal - The Bruce Lee Way

1. 海運大廈(Ocean Terminal)
原址屬(Hong Kong & Kowloon Wharf & Godown Co. Ltd.)的一部份。1960年代,九龍倉集團決定將碼頭用地分批重新發展。1963年,九龍倉碼頭獲香港政府資助,斥資7,000多萬元將原有的第一號碼頭重建為樓高4層的海運大廈,成為最早重建完成的建築。在當時是全亞洲第一個購物商場,也是香港僅有和最早落成的大型商場,開幕當日並邀請瑪嘉烈公主(Princess Margaret)揭幕,是當年香港一大盛事。照片所見是早期面貌。
Ocean Terminal was once part of a wharf pier owned by Hong Kong & Kowloon Wharf and Godown Co. Ltd.. In the 60s, the Wharf (Holdings) Limited decided to redevelop by stages the wharf pier. In 1963, the company was subsidised by Hong Kong government to invest more than HK$70million to rebuild the terminal one into the four-storey Ocean Terminal, which was the first building completed. At that time, Ocean Terminal was the first shopping centre in Asia, as well as Hong Kong's only and oldest big-scale shopping centre. The day Ocean Terminal was inaugurated, Princess Margaret was invited to be the unveiling guest. The ceremony was hailed as one of the grandest events of the city. This picture shows the early Kowloon Wharf.
