Find real communities in Hong Kong

after a walking tour with friends in Sheungwan and having tea and soup in my co-worker’s old-style-tenement-turned-studio apartment, we went to Fotan in the New Territories to see the open studios. The artists’ studios are housed in still-active industrial warehouses with huge windows that face the mountains. We had fun going from floor to floor and riding the huge industrial elevators.

Sheung Wan and Kennedy Town in Hong Kong. Still a lot of old walkups, old folks, neighborhood temples, noodle shops, tea rooms. The “old” Hong Kong. A sense of human scale.
