Nathan Road runs north to south through Prince Edward (Mong Kok) and Tsim Sha Tsui. Along its path are landmarks and buildings such as The Peninsula Hong Kong, Chungking Mansions, Kowloon Park, the Kowloon Mosque and Islamic Centre, and the Eastern House, making it the main artery of urban Kowloon. Nathan Road is lined with shops, crisscrossed with large billboards, and bustling with traffic, constantly filled with activity. The panoramic composite image of Nathan Road captured by Lo Pui-hung (showing shops on both sides) feels both familiar and unfamiliar, a result of long hours spent waiting for the perfect shot.
"Perhaps, what I want to capture is not just the beautiful scene before me, but also the constantly fading memories." Would Nathan Road in 2005 look unfamiliar today? This revised edition retains the original photos and includes additional text, bearing witness to the changes Nathan Road has undergone over the past decade.
