History of hong kong

A nostalgic look at Hong Kong 40 years ago reveals the city's transformation over time.

Since he first took pictures of the city in 1969 his work has been seen in thousands of prints, calendars, books – and many millions of postcards – around the world

Lee Fook Chee, a young seaman who taught himself photography, shot scenes of Hong Kong in the 1950s and sold the pictures to tourists to make ends meet. Some 140 examples of his work were published this month in a book – thanks to a chance encounter five years ago between Lee and Edward Stokes, founder of the Photographic Heritage Foundation.

The real Hong Kong which I would like to experience

Mongkok Hong Kong

My friends Susi and Thomas went to Hong Kong a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, Thomas fell ill as soon as they arrived and has been in the hospital ever since. He'll likely be there another week. In his honor, and with the hope that he will recover soon, I am posting this not-so-old postcard from Hong Kong. This is the Peak Tower Restaurant in Victoria Gap, built at the upper terminus of the peak tram in 1972. While it's not exactly my favorite building, I wonder if it wouldn't have benefited…

I'm sure there is a thread of these photos but I'm too lazy to look for it. Please move this thread to where you see it fit. Thanks! ;) 1953 Caravon...
