this has been spoken many many times...

most are photoshopped.

 

[El_Greco]

^ Just croped.

Utterly depressing.

never wanna live there.

Not as dense. There are parks and other amenities between buildings.

Hong Kong itself is not "zoomed shots of tenements with photoshop extensions"

It is a city of extremes. You can post another series of shots and your perception will change completely.

SERIOUSLY HOW MANY TIMES DO PPL NEED TO POST THIS?

Everytime these pics got posted, HK-haters lament, HK-lovers defend... and eventually someone posts the comparison pics of the cropped version and the larger area and the HK-lovers win once again...

BORING!

 

[_00_deathscar]

Precisely.

But can anyone answer?

Is the first pic Pearl City Mansions in Causeway Bay, and the 9th one looks sort of like Tai Koo Shing?

That's definitely NOT Pearl City Mansion.

It looks very familiar...maybe it's a building in Quarry Bay/North Point that I happen to pass by frequently taking the bus...

Anways I'm taking the no.2 to Causeway Bay Library so if I spot that building I'll notify you.

 

[Rachmaninov]

I'm sure these few are cropped. Others I think might be authentic

never wanna live there too...jesus -cant immagine to live in hong-kong-ghetto one day...:/

 

[vvill]

AH HELP.

THIS HAS BEEN SAID MILLION TIMES. LET ME REPEAT AGAIN.

MOST PHOTOS THERE HAVE BEEN PHOTOSHOPPED.

 

[Manila-X]

We had too much discussion on this,

:lock: :lock: :lock: :lock: :lock:

Yea and half the people in these so called 'ghettos' would be seen out wearing Gucci, Armani, Zegna and Chanel clothes.

They're not fcuking ghettos.....

 

[_00_deathscar]

Can't put my finger on it ... that building is very familiar.

Looks like Pearl City to me still...

And that looks like Tai Koo Shing ...

 

[hkth]

And that looks like Tai Koo Shing ...

No, it is Richland Gardens in Kowloon Bay. That Garden used to be a part of the old Kai Tak Airport. :|

 

[_00_deathscar]

Ah fair enough then.
