 Deserted Massive Printing Plant One of the leading newspaper publishing companies moved into this office and printing complex with an investment of HK$670 million in 1995, at the peak of its profitability. Daily circulation exceeded 100,000 then. The 7-storey building houses the printing line at the lower floors and the offices in upper floors, including a cafeteria. Probably due to decreasing readership and more emphasis on digital content, the complex ceased operations around March 2023. The expensive printing system is still on site, as are lots of furniture, fixtures and personal items.
