Almost fifty years ago Hong Kong's waterfront looked like this.

  • Hong Kong of yesteryear never to be seen again save for Mr Rogge's films. Good shots of the Star Ferry Hong Kong side before the land reclamation for Jardine House, with views of the Mandarin being built and the old now demolished Post Office in the distance.

  • @beowulf1312 . Indeed and much more! See my other 150 clips on old Hong Kong by searching with michael+rogge+hong+kong

  • Great footage. Thanks. The cost of using 16mm film was expensive in the 60'. I used a Bolex super 8 then. I miss the big sail wooden junk.

  • @tomleehh321. I suppose that you mean Regular 8mm as super 8 was introduced only in 1965 !

  • I am a sound student of Hong Kong. Can you suggest me anywhere I can find the soundtracks of Hong Kong in the old days? Or do you have them?

  • @josephinechingng. At one time gramophone records were produced of HK live sounds. You might ask the HK Tourist board for them. Alas, I do not have them. You might also visit 'sound dogs' audio site. There is also the HK History Museum.

  • HK will never be the same without Star Ferry, big mistake on the part of the government. Chinese will never learn about the importance of preserving historic landmark!

  • Certainly the old Hong Kong, I remember so fondly.

    yep, but what was that location of the shot at 0:14 taken?

  • @tomleehh321 There are still a few wooden junks. Look up the "Huan". I went on that as a child and I believe it's still sailing.

  • @ixanaths They will... when it's too late. Shanghai is being destroyed right now.

  • Dear Mr. Rogge,

    Thanks for posing this, great footage and superb quality.

  • Dear Micheal, hats off to you, for preserving history. You are great.

  • Yes, you are right.  The Swiss lens is excellent.
