Hong Kong authorities have said they will repair the oldest post office in service after a double-decker bus ran into the historic building following a collision with a motorcyclist on Wednesday.
The entrance and part of the facade of the 84-year-old Stanley Post Office were damaged, according to a statement released by Hongkong Post on Thursday.
Parts of the wooden beams on the roof of its entrance and a postbox outside the building were also affected.
A police spokesman said the bus hit a motorcyclist at the junction of Tung Tau Wan Road and Stanley Village Road at about 6.30pm on Wednesday. It also knocked down roadside railings and a tree as a result of the collision.

“Stanley Post Office has to be closed temporarily as the Architectural Services Department and relevant agencies still need to carry out a detailed survey to arrange for repair works,” the Hongkong Post statement said, adding advice would be sought from the Antiquities and Monuments Office (AMO).
