I took this photo in North Point (north-eastern part of the HK island) yesterday before it got dark. North Point is one of the areas in HK where new immigrants from Mainland China like to settle in. More often than in other districts, we can hear regional dialects on the streets and small eateries featuring provincial cuisine.
hi! I'll be visiting hk in august, glad I came across your blog! I'm really looking forward to it. your pictures make the wait until the flight a bit more bearable ;)
Hi all, you probably won't find a lot of tourist attractions in North Point but this is quite a safe area to browse around and have a look of local life...

lisi - this image is sooo fascinating - so much going on and I can only image the noise of various dialects conversing
ã
i see that the vehicles are mainly public transports, fascinating!

Hi Lisi! That McDonald's sign looks out of place in the midst of these chinese signs. But I love the photo! :)
ã
This is the HK I know and love! Still the old neon signs and 70s buildings.
ã
Interesting stuff. Are there a lot of new arrivals from the mainland?
ã
Now that's the Hong Kong that sticks in people's minds. Really excellent photo with so much to see!

thanks!

Looks like a busy city! Nice photo!
ã
Wow! It may look common to you, but to a dweller in a smallish city, that scene looks quite remarkable!
ã
It's a crazy quilt of color and texture -- very wonderful visual rhythms, a nice take on "common."
