This Permanent Geographic Coordinate is located in the 1881 Heritage Precinct of Hong Kong. The latitude and longitude of the site are part of an engraved, 6-metre diameter circular map that depicts Hong Kong and its immediate surrounds, as far as Macau. The map is engraved into the concrete pavement in front of the main building, located to the left as you enter the grounds.
From wikipedia:
The Former Marine Police Headquarters Compound, constructed in 1884, is located in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The site is now officially renamed as 1881 Heritage.
The Kowloon compound used to be occupied by the Marine Police, now a unit within the Hong Kong Police Force, since its establishment until late 1996, when it was moved to Sai Wan Ho.
The compound is a declared monument since 1994 as it is one of the four oldest surviving government buildings in Hong Kong. The Compound and the Old Kowloon Fire Station have been re-developed into a heritage hotel with food and beverage outlets and retail facilities in a project headed by architect Daniel Lin of A+T Design, opened in 2009.
