Hong Kong has triumphed through many transformations. This surprising compilation of images of the teeming city spans the evolution of a twentieth-century Hong Kong to the present day. It has been a remarkable journey in the city’s rich but turbulent history as it rose from a backwater to one of the world’s most dynamic places. As Hong Kong forges a new role in China’s flourishing Greater Bay Area, these quite exceptional images remind us of our singular legacy; a city so different today and yet so much the same as back in time.
