As I indicated in an early post, here is a shot of the Hong Kong-Canton Railway Tower. Of course the the Station moved to Hong Hom in 2003.
A Shot of the harbor from the Promenade. I love this shot: a million dollar yacht docked at the Star Ferry Terminal with the IFC Building in the background; a Chinese junk in the middle of the harbor and a Chinese sampan to the left.
Currently called 1881 Heritage, this restored Marine Police Barracks, built in the mid 1800's, is now a beautiful shopping area, of course, and favorite tourist area for those interested in history. The restoration started in 1996, so I used to walk pass the original everyday on the way to work. Go to this site to see a picture of the original building.
A shot in the Jordan area, just north of Tsim Sha Shui.
My favorite butcher in Sham Shui Po!
I love these old building but unfortunately each time I come back I find more and more have been replaced with high-rise.
These residential buildings on the right may not be standing the next time I return.
This is a neat photo. In the foreground are tangerine skins drying on a street corner in front of a fruit stand. The lady that runs this stand peels the tangerines and gives the tangerine to her favorite customers so she can dry the skins which she sells to be used in cooking. Apparently she makes more money with the skins than the fruit!
