In the spirit of the Liberty Island photos of yesteryear, here are the promised Hong Kong location photos (although the realism here is nowhere near that of Liberty Island or the Paris Catacombs, unfortunately). Big files, so let 'em load if you want to.

http://www.cynium.com/projects/hkgallery/bigimages/HK_tonnochyroad1.jpg Tonnochi Road, perhaps? It's a major road in the Wan Chai district, but nothing like in Deus Ex.

http://www.cynium.com/projects/hkgallery/bigimages/HK_manulife1.jpg The Manulife building in Wan Chai. Manulife, Versalife, coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.
That's pretty much all I could get out of Deus Ex one that actually exists in Hong Kong. However, there are a number of excellent locations that could be used in Deus Ex 2 :)

http://www.cynium.com/projects/hkgallery/bigimages/HK_conventioncenter4.jpgThe Convention Center in Wan Chai is a huge, fortress-like building that would also make a great Deus Ex 2 level, with huge open spaces and many levels to explore.
Add to that the Hong Kong MTR (metro) system, which is huge and expansive, and you could have a very realistic, doable city. Do the right thing guys. Hong Kong for Deus Ex 2. :thumb:

I like the placement of the "don't walk" sign in the first photo. Intentional?

Hm... looks like Unatco is hiring new agents... ;)
Tanks for the pics!
Amazing how close Deus EX level comes to reality...
when I saw the pic of the inside of the statue, I suddenly had in mind when I played in there... I remembered. I think that speaks for itself :-)

Yes, I remember seeing the New York photos over a year ago. I think even Warren posted on that thread.

I stole the pics from a different site.
