HK's heritageas reflected inmundane life
Browsing a popular photography website, I came across a set of pictures of Hong Kong posted by an unknown mainland photographer.
What caught my attention, as well as those of many others who commented on them, was not so much the quality of the pictures, which were not much better than the snapshots any tourist would have taken, but rather the impression of this fascinating city seen through the eye of a mainland visitor.
Thousands of mainland tourists visit Hong Kong every day mainly to shop and dine. They return to tell their relatives and friends about the opulent shops, fancy restaurants and breathtaking amusement parks. But this photographer ventured beyond the confines of the tourist spots to show in his pictures a part of the real Hong Kong that should hold greater appeal to mainland tourists other than those shopping addicts and pleasure seekers.
