TIY the Reopened HSBC Lion Statues and have private tour for other Hong Kong great statues
The two lion statues of Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) just reopen on 22 October 2020 after finishing the first phrase of maintenance.
Restored Stitt
Restored Stephen
The British-owned “the World’s local bank” finds a local fund shui master to host the reopening ceremony to bless the lion statues, which were vandalized by the anti-government rioters on 1 January 2020.
People can still see the burnt manes caused by the merciless rioters and the three red dots of fung shui master for revitalization on the forehead, and two eyes of Stitt.
Travelers, especially the Singapore travelers under the new travel bubble, can TIY (tour it yourself) the two mighty lion statues easily.
Take MTR to Central Station Exit K or take the tram to Bank Street Stop to see the two lions of HSBC (two triangles)

TIY, tour the reopened HSBC Lions yourself
The British-owned “the World’s local bank”, HSBC, deeply understands the importance of blending into local culture.
Therefore the bank finds the local fung shui expert to have a simple but grand reopening ceremony for the two lions.

The master first walks around the lions with a smoldering incense stick to bless the lions by the smoke.

He then uses a lucky red towel to clean them.
He finally uses the red ink to dot their eyes and foreheads to awaken their souls.

Now people can say hello to and take selfie with lions again
As the lions’ mane are largely burnt with black color, they will have the second phrase of maintenance by the Western experts, who cannot come to Hong Kong at this moment due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Under the new travel bubble, Singapore travelers can TIY the lions and Central District by taking the double-decker tram to go to the Bank Street Stop or taking the MTR to go to Central Station Exit K.
The lions’ reopening symbolizes the restart of Hong Kong after the severe political chaos and Covid-19 outbreak.
Frank the tour guide hopes travelers from all around the world can come back to Hong Kong soon to say hello to the lions and other great statues during his private car tour service.
