Narrow but roofed, the many footbridges across busy roads, avenues, and streets in Hong Kong are lifelines sheltering a population of around seven million in not so good days. It’s a mountainous city with a sense of British idiosyncrasy, old dreams, and noises. Heartland of contemporary Cantonese culture that cherishes a tender way of living, the city that called itself Asia’s world city usually dealt with natural difficulties such as tropical cyclones that occurs half a year round with a spirt of rare optimism and preparedness.
The Lion Rock separating Kowloon from New Territories is a emotional symbol of Hong Kong’s unweaving spirit of remaining strong in difficult times since the end of WW2. It remains greenish, sublimely serene, and sentimentally beautiful.
