For the last two years, Flickr user
HK Man has been collecting old photos of Hong Kong, finding the exact spots at which they were taken, and
taking them again. The result, from his first photo of
Victoria Harbor to a more recent one of
Nathan Road, comprises a chronicle of Hong Kong's unrestrained vertical development over the past few decades. In a similar vein,
Gwulo is a community site for "for everyone that is interested in old Hong Kong" and includes
photos,
mysteries, and discussions -- such as this one about
old Kai Tak Airport.
