AUSTRALIAN TOURISTS VISIT GOLDEN BAUHINIA SQUARE IN HONG KONG, 2001-09-28 (photo)

David Miller and wife Julie from Ballarat, Australia visit Golden Bauhinia Square, a tourist spot adjacent to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre September 28, 2001. The bauhinia sculpture is a gift from China when the territory reverted to Chinese rule in 1997. Hong Kong's tourism industry, already suffering from the global downturn, has been hit hard by a wave of cancellations following the September 11 attacks in the United States. The Hong Kong Hotels Association said some of its members recorded only 50 percent occupancy after the attacks when they would usually expect to fill 80 percent of their rooms. REUTERS/Bobby Yip BY/CP
