I have just moved my Hong Kong galleries to a new server, and have added a few new parts to the collection. Here are some highlights.

Central Plaza's skylobby is open to the public, including photographers who want to see Hong Kong from this former tallest skyscraper in the city.

Within the heart of Mongkok, many old and dilapidated buildings remain.

Pawns shops are still around in Hong Kong. While they may not be a popular way of raising cash anymore, they sit on a lot of valuable real estate. Usually a pawn shop consists of the storefront at street level and all the floors above it.

It looks like maintenance is not a very co-ordinated effort. The government has been trying to get owners to fix old buildings such as these. Once in a while some concrete chunks come off and fall onto the ground.

Nice and true images of HongKong ! Love the dense advertisements boards on the streets .

Nice. Central Plaza is quite opulent inside. Lived in a hotel quite close to there so I went through Central Plaza quite a few times.

I love the shots from above street level.
