Once upon a time, there was a Hong Kong This is Hong Kong

The so-called "never forget" probably describes Hong Kong. Ask those who have been here, or turn the pages of this book. Hong Kong described by Czech writer Miroslav Sasek is unforgettable. The colorful illustrations capture the charm of Hong Kong in the 1960s, its verve, oriental prosperity and contrasts in the city. Rumbling planes brought tourists here, and then rickshaws carried them through the streets and alleys full of exoticism, incense, and the aroma of roasted chestnuts and Peking duck. At every corner, there are sultry scenery, gorgeous and exquisite jade and ivory, and shining silk brocade. Sasek first took the readers to overlook Kowloon Bay and see the sweeping and misty ridges, and then turned to the alleys to take a closer look at the street vendors and merchants, the sailors on the bright red sailboats, and those people on the water who had never set foot on land. .
