One of the earliest postings on our blog was of the bronze lions that sit outside the HSBC building in Hong Kong. Named Stephen and Stitt, they have been sitting outside HSBC since the early 1900's and even have shrapnel wounds from the Japanese invasion of HK. The current HSBC Bank is renowned for its superior feng shui and rubbing the lions' claws is thought to bring prosperity and good luck so it was natural that we end our time in Hong Kong as we began it, by rubbing the lions' claws.
