Until now, i explore further bit of Birmingham city centre and what i have found, I went to Birmingham Canal with Bars and restaurants surrounding at this river. This canal has 60 kilometres long but i only went to a little bit about it. And when i step onto the bridge, There's ICC building. I thought it was like Hong Kong ICAC but it was not. It is called International Convention Centre where it looked like Hong Kong Convention Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai.

Behind that building was HSBC headquarters in Birmingham. HSBC headquarters used to be in London and was planned to move to Hong Kong, after that, they had changed their mind that HSBC headquarters had moved to Birmingham where it is closed to public library. And i also visited one of the biggest public library in the entire Europe in Birmingham. This public library really looked like i am in Macau's M&C Casino building. It really looked similar as well. And in the vicinity of the public library, there's fountain located there between public library and HSBC headquarter building. There's also having tram station to be developed. After went to that place, I also discovered many historical buildings reserved nearby the new street station where museums are located there. And these buildings are called The Victoria Square.

When i looked back in the history, Birmingham was a village until there has huge amount of immigrants and work labours coming to develop this city. Birmingham was fast growth industrial city since 14th century. After gone through 2nd world war vanished the area, they literally spend more than a whole year repaired the entire city.
