Taking after the 1957 Richard Mason novel The World of Suzie Wong - later adapted into a screenplay and 1960 film of the same name- the Suzie Wong nightclub on Lockhart Road in Wan Chai helped bolster that district's notorious reputation. Covering the entirety, including the underside, of the venue's marquee, neon lights contributed to the area's atmosphere of desirous delirium up untill the club's closure in the 1980s.
