Kiu Kwan Mansion (Chinese: 僑冠大廈) is a 27-storey, 95 m (312 ft) residential skyscraper at 395 King's Road, North Point in Hong Kong.
[5] It was one of two Hong Kong branches and the city's largest department store when it opened, and especially attracted many Fujianese and Shanghaiese immigrants in the area to shop or find work there.
[6] During the 1967 riots which lasted between May and December of that year, Pro-communist leftists demonstrated against the colonial establishment, leading to 51 killed, over 800 injured, and over 8000 bombs detonated.
This naturally led to the building becoming a leftist stronghold, utilizing the labyrinth-like features of the Chinese Goods Centre to deter police crackdowns.
Being the largest raid since May, altogether seven companies of riot policemen, seven platoons of British soldiers, a number of plainclothes police officers and three helicopters were deployed.
