Residents view the Victoria Harbour from Queen's Pier in Hong Kong's financial district July 30, 2007. The government said it will block off the pier for demolition early this week. The pier, a colonial symbol which was used by the British royal family and the Hong Kong governors for landing in and leaving Hong Kong during the British era, will be demolished to pave way for planned reclamation and roadworks.
