【Hong Kong Historical Buildings Series】Postcards__Chinese Mansions

In Hong Kong, a place with scarce land and a rapid pace of urban development, few historical buildings have been preserved. Yet, looking back, the historical buildings, whether vanished or standing today, not only showcase a vibrant diversity of architectural styles but also bear witness to the shifts in Hong Kong's social and economic structures across different eras, reflecting the multicultural tapestry of its diverse ethnic groups, religions, and cultures. Drawing from various historical records and images, Dr. Wong Tai-choi has re-illustrated Hong Kong's historical buildings from diverse categories spanning 1841 to 1997. This effort serves to document the aesthetic qualities of these architectural heritages while enriching our understanding of Hong Kong's societal development over more than a hundred years with specific visual details. 1.
