In your excursion to Lantau Island just a strip of water away from Kowloon and Hong Kong, does it ever come to you that the landscape there should be much the same as the natural Victoria Harbour?

Ever imagined this to be the former Victoria Park and shopping area around East Point Road in Causeway Bay?


Why, Choi Hung Estate in Kowloon Bay was a piece of coastal wetland such as this?


When the British set foot in the city 170 years ago… What, was it Central?


So it was Bowrington Bridge at Hennessy Road in Wan Chai?


And the British took possession of Tsim Sha Tsui… when it looked like this?

When roving about Kowloon and Hong Kong, ever wondered why there are so many places bearing a name for the hill but a hill no longer exists, and bays without bays?


Why aren’t there any “hills” in Morrison Hill?


Why aren’t there any “bays” in Kowloon Bay?
