Tengtu Hok's Palace

A fortified, walled palace belonging to Tengtu (General) Hok on Hok's Street. High walls and sturdy iron gates enclose the compound; a moat and a second-floor exterior walkway connect toward a museum entrance. The site is a recurring espionage flashpoint in the narrative—black Mercedes deliver German operatives past a vigilant Chinese gateman, clandestine handoffs (including Bang's daytime approach with a black suitcase) occur near the gate, Kehoe's car departs into an alley, and explosions at the gate turn the compound into a tense military perimeter with rushing patrols.
