museum on the street.


another scene at Lee Tung Street, Wanchai, Hong Kong
if you want to study the history of a city, the best to do, other than spending days and nights at the library to read thru books is to visit it, walk the streets, taste the local food, study the buildings in the vicinity. well...this is how you would do when you visit any European cities. The buildings define the character and stand as a silent witness to the history of a city.
on the other hand, to catch up with time, it is also inevitable to redevelop the city especially when the pace of the economy is moving so fast...
hang on, is that really the case?
can the preservation of the city fabric coexists with the new developments?
