1. As another year begins, I'll be showcasing Hong Kong from many points of view in a new 2010 thread.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0109/IMG_0022.jpg

2. Waiting for the bus ...

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0109/IMG_0050.jpg

3. A new hotel is born. This is a rejuvenation project, as the neighbourhood is full of garages and appears a bit dirty for an upclass facility.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0109/IMG_0105.jpg

4. Meanwhile, across the street, a debate rages over what to do with this disused site. More skyscrapers along the water's edge?

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0109/IMG_0103.jpg

5. The views would be quite nice though, albeit blocking the residents further inland. Development needs to be more balanced these days.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0109/IMG_0118.jpg

6. Hong Kong is a very hilly city. Somehow, the skyscrapers know their place and scream to be seen.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0109/IMG_0148.jpg

7. Traditional markets are still alive and well. Although a bit chaotic, they are still cheaper than the supermarket.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0109/IMG_0255.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0109/IMG_0259.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0109/IMG_0262.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0109/IMG_0263.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0109/IMG_0272.jpg

12. The public's growing appetite for nostalgia continues. In this exhibition, visitors find menus and memorabilia from a recently-closed traditional Chinese restaurant.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0109/IMG_9841.jpg

13. For aviation fans, some old plane tickets ...

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0109/IMG_9848.jpg

14. Watson's is still around today!

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0109/IMG_9853.jpg

15. What is this British red double decker doing on our streets?

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0109/IMG_9880.jpg

16. Our homes are getting taller and taller. Each new tower seems to be outdoing the previous one. Do we need to live so high up? Soon 60/F would offer no views.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0115/IMG_2622.jpg

17. Hong Kong's urban planners need to revisit the importance of maintaining proper density and lively streets. The older communities tend to do a much better job, albeit still dense but lower.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0115/IMG_2625.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0115/IMG_2627.jpg

19. There is a constant call to redevelop seemingly young buildings. 40 years is not exactly a very old building if maintained properly. This one would look quite nice if it had a wash or a fresh coat of paint.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0116/IMG_2642.jpg

20. The older parts of town are slowly being torn down for more tall residential blocks. How do they fit into the established urban fabric?

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0116/IMG_2647.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0116/IMG_2650.jpg

22. Chinese New Year is fast approaching. Time to stock up on red pockets!

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0116/IMG_2652.jpg

23. Being a valued Cathay Pacific customer over the years, spending tens of thousands of US dollars on their flights, I don't recall ever seeing this type of baggage box before!

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0116/IMG_2656.jpg

24. Dryers are not common in Hong Kong. The most environmental way is to hang your laundry out to dry by sunlight.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0116/IMG_2660.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0116/IMG_2670.jpg

26. Hong Kong now has a sizeable Thai community, and Thai helpers are valid options for the busy family.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0116/IMG_2699.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0116/IMG_2719.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0116/IMG_2720.jpg

29. Eating out is not so expensive if you know the right places. A rice dish with some meat costs only about USD 4. Why bother cooking?

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0116/IMG_2736.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0116/IMG_2762.jpg

31. You can also pick up a dessert along the way home!

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0116/IMG_2739.jpg

32. Today's local markets have realized the competitive threat of supermarkets. So they have prettied up their wares to give more aesthetic appeal.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0116/IMG_2751.jpg

33. Recycling definitely needs to get more popular as we tackle the pollution problem. Here is a price list by material type for the old ladies who collect garbage for re-sale.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0116/IMG_2781.jpg

34. Although the boat people community is getting smaller and smaller, typhoon shelters still exist, and offer a parking spot for those who are not on duty. These don't look anything like the family sampan fishing for a living.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0116/IMG_3155.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0116/IMG_3188.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0116/IMG_3248.jpg

37. Throughout 2010, I will bring more nostalgia, modernity, and contrast.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0117/IMG_3414.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0117/IMG_3320.jpg

40. Fotanian is an open-studio art exhibition that forms part of a series of separate cultural events to kick-start 2010.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0124/IMG_4315.jpg

41. To make a garbage station look good, the front was decorated with a forest scene so it doesn't look anything like its function. This photo depicts the arrangement.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0124/IMG_4313.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0124/IMG_4332.jpg

45. Industrial buildings in the vicinity are increasingly becoming home to artists. Here's a converted studio :

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0124/IMG_4339.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0124/IMG_4344.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0124/IMG_4363.jpg

51. Hong Kong is a very safe city. To be more safe, many older buildings and government housing are equipped with these metal gates in addition to the main door.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0124/IMG_4359.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0124/IMG_4362.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0124/IMG_4374.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0124/IMG_4376.jpg

58. There are quite a lot of photo-taking opportunities with the art displays. The open house was immensely popular and I purposedly didn't want to capture the crowds too much. You have to think about the setting on the back of your heads.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0124/IMG_4381.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0124/IMG_4408.jpg

66. War-time bombs are dug up every now and then with so much construction happening in the city. Workers are evacuated and the bomb is set off in a controlled explosion. Work then continues ... very routine.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0124/IMG_4418.jpg

70. This is not a TV capture. It's an actual painting!

73. Unleash your imagination. These hangars are quite creative.

Heritage Preservation
80. With an ever-growing movement to preserve what is left of our historic buildings, even dilapidated ones, an award at the Berlin Film Festival prompted huge turnout at Wing Lee Street, where Echoes of the Rainbow was filmed.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0227/IMG_5807.jpg

81. These are still living neighbourhoods.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0227/IMG_5809.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0227/IMG_5813.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0227/IMG_5816.jpg

84. Even stray cats get a meal.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0227/IMG_5819.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0227/IMG_5834.jpg

86. This game is a historic relic from our childhoods.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0227/IMG_5822.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0227/IMG_5830.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0227/IMG_5831.jpg

89. But development is approaching their doors.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0227/IMG_5846.jpg

90. Wing Lee Street is a mix of retail on ground floors and residences on top. But the shops seem to be gone now, while clothes still hang on the floors above. This street is slated for redevelopment. With the outcry to preserve the old buildings, perhaps the government will do a re-think on how to proceed?

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0227/IMG_5854.jpg

91. It doesn't take too much to restore the exterior to something presentable and safe.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0227/IMG_5855.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0227/IMG_5868.jpg

97. But this street is quite dilapidated. Many buildings have gone for years without proper maintenance.

120. These new seats with neck support make taking a nap so much easier.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0313/IMG_7213.jpg

121. Vitasoy is a major soy drink brand in Hong Kong. To celebrate its 70th anniversary, they've produced a series of new packagings, and a tram ad.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0313/IMG_7232.jpg

124. A taste of Italy in Hong Kong.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0313/IMG_7277.jpg

125. The traditional tram out in action.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0313/IMG_7307.jpg

126. Old tram meets new tram.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0313/IMG_7319.jpg

127. We've had a few days of intense fog, so photo-taking has been restricted to more close-ups than scenery. You can't even make out the top floors of Kowloon Station's towers.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0314/IMG_7342.jpg

128. The new Austin station is quite deserted, but once the new high-speed train station to China finishes next door, this should be the new business district.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0314/IMG_7347.jpg

129. Eirgh ... the foggy and moist spring season has arrived.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0314/IMG_7393.jpg

130. These buildings were the original inhabitants of the area before reclamation forced them inland.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0314/IMG_7412.jpg

131. With the new high-speed rail station U/C, the bus station was moved here.

23. Being a valued Cathay Pacific customer over the years, spending tens of thousands of US dollars on their flights, I don't recall ever seeing this type of baggage box before!

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0116/IMG_2656.jpg

About five years ago, that box cost about HK$1,500.
It's probably one of the most expensive baggage you'll ever find.

It wasn't me, but one of my friends flew with me from HK back to JFK who appeared to be overweight on her check-in baggages.
CX didn't allow any overweight baggages even if you pay the different, but made her repack the additional weight into the "courtesy" baggage box just like the one showed above.
At the end, the box was in pretty bad shape after the 16 hours flight. This one is surprisingly looking good.

When I flew back to HKG from Sydney in 2008, I was quite overweight and they wouldn't let me check my bag because it was not safe for airport workers beyond a certain weight. As I was paying J fares at the time, the lady went to the back and got the original red-white-blue bag for me to pack the overflow, and didn't charge me a cent for it. Nevertheless, upon arriving in HK I fetched my "priority baggge" red-white-blue bag and dashed for the train.

Did you have one overweight checked baggage or two?? My friends had two.
And of course, J class could make a whole different.
But you got a red-white-blue in Sydney, that's classic.

I had 2 bags that were each under the maximum airport-allowed weight. But total weight was over the allowance, but no fees were charged.

Tomatoes are quite easy to grow, and are not prone to insects / pests.

Green onions are also easy to grow. Just stick an onion into the ground and wait.

Great captures! love the randomness in these set of pics! Keep it up! :)

yea.. more and more hkers are filled with nostalgia nowadays. Perhaps it is associated with the frequent demolitions happening in our city

188. Western district provides many photo-taking opportunities as traditional Chinese foods are out on food display. These go well with steamed rice - you steam them with the rice.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0227/IMG_5628.jpg

189. These ones are being dried, although scattering them on the floor would not be my favoured option.

216. A special sightseeing tram rumbles through the city.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0320/IMG_7864.jpg

217. These "hot dog" buses might disappear completely as the non-air-conditioned fleet is fully phased-out. So I need to work extra hard to capture them.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0328/IMG_8729.jpg

221. I really like the front window design. When the bus is moving, it gets quite cool even in 30C weather.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0328/IMG_8744.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0328/IMG_8756.jpg

223. That's the driver's peep window.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0328/IMG_8752.jpg

224. Too lazy to cook dinner? Just grab a pack of roasted meat, and put some rice into the rice cooker.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0328/IMG_8763.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0328/IMG_8772.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0328/IMG_8773.jpg

243. Kwun Tong is a living neighbourhood. Away from the bustling street markets, it's actually a quiet district, and not too crowded at all.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0328/IMG_8868.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0328/IMG_8867.jpg

248. However, there are a lot of older buildings that need some rejuvenation.

268. This is what a traditional wet market looks like - without air-conditioning, with corridors of shops. This one has closed though, but normally it'd be bustling with shoppers and fresh foods.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0606/IMG_5526.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0606/IMG_5528.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0606/IMG_5539.jpg

275. Ming Wah Dai Ha is a 1960s public housing estate. But in recent years, it has gone through a major renovation, and now the grounds are nicely-landscaped and the exterior looks very new. You don't need to raze and rebuild so often.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0606/IMG_5541.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0606/IMG_5545.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0606/IMG_5554.jpg

279. Instead of the typical ugly concrete pavement, they've added some tiles and vegetation. This estate is up the hill, set back from the street, so it's actually a very serene place. With the shade, it's possible to actually sit outside to enjoy a bit of nature.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0606/IMG_5553.jpg

280. Nearby, a typhoon shelter is still home to many fishing boats, showcasing a piece of Hong Kong's maritime history. Generally, this waterfront was quite well done. A promenade runs all along the shelter, while some recreation facilities front it.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0606/IMG_5458.jpg

291. Exception is this parking lot, but it doesn't block residents from reaching the water, so it's not a big problem.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0606/IMG_5439.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0606/IMG_5344.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0606/IMG_5346.jpg

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0606/IMG_5349.jpg

296. Government housing tends to be simple in design, and not necessarily aesthetically-pleasing.

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0815/IMG_8260.jpg

395. Skyscrapers peer above older, shorter buildings

http://www.globalphotos.org/hongkong/2010/0822/IMG_8636.jpg

396. This part of town is a bit hilly, but nevertheless densely populated.

406. Midlevels is not necessarily a great place to live. It's wall-to-wall buildings. It's hard enough trying to get a view, while at street-level, there is a lot of traffic along the narrow roads.
