How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown recreates the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai, with the gilded Golden Bauhinia sculpture on the square in front of it. In CptSigma's comparison of the game with the real island, the convention centre and its statue are among the best-made landmarks.
The real place
The gilded bronze sculpture Forever Blooming Bauhinia was a gift from the Chinese government to mark the handover of Hong Kong on 1 July 1997, a ceremony held in the convention centre extension behind it. The bauhinia flower is the emblem on Hong Kong's flag.
Visiting
A flag-raising ceremony is held on the square every morning at 8 am, with a bigger ceremony on the first of each month. Walk around the convention centre to the waterfront promenade for views across the harbour.
Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre is also in Sleeping Dogs. See all 2 games side by side
