Edinburgh Place is a public square in Central, Hong Kong, adjacent to the Victoria Harbour.
[1] The Star Ferry Pier was designed by a local architect Hung Yip Chan (born 1921).
[1] Its openness meant that the square would occasionally be used as a rallying point for small marches and protests within earshot of legislators.
For example, in July 1978, 2000 people rallied to demand the re-opening of the defunct Precious Blood Golden Jubilee School.
[3] Since October 1987, the Legislative Council has banned gatherings outside the principal LegCo building.
