Return to Hong Kong 1989 part 2

I visited Sheung Wan district once more - not so much had changed after thirty years. Then Tai O and Po Lin Shi on Lantau island which had undergone a complete change. For the first time I visited Quangdong in China. I'm eighty one now and rather keep on to my old sweet memories than undertake an arduous journey to a hectic city.

I think the History Museum should contact you to preserve your films on Hong Kong.

So precious!!

@daiwaiu They did and have my films for years and are showing them often.

I like the series very much particuar the NT in the old time e.g. Lantau /Tai O. I wonder if you have more about the North Eastern side of the the NT ? and more about the resettlement housing scene.

[MichaelRogge]

@shukhang I do not think that I explored the N.E. side of the N.T. I have shots of agriculture in the N.T. As to the resetllement housing scheme I have shots in my HK refugees clip and also scattered over all N.T. clips. I do not remember myself in which clips they have all gone to.

If I decide to live in Hong Kong again, I want to live in the islands, such as Lantao Island for example. I like the nature and the villages.

Since my last visit settlements of foreign residents have risen on Lantau island, for instance in Silvermine Bay. Via Google you may get glimpses of these yacht harbours.

Check my comments in my channel for information about the Pre-January 8th version of Inception.

Nou, je reis toen was meer dan 20 jaar geleden,. Lantau Island is nu heel veel veranderd. Voor de beter of niet... misschien wel. Het is zeker veel makkelijker met de cable car om daar naartoe te gaan dan in 1989 !

Dank U wel. Het is erg interesant.

Thanks so much for posting these fabolous videos. I've been in HK for thr first time two years ago and returned thi year for my birthday. I've fallen in love with this city, so modern and efficient and, at the same time, so traditional. A city with a heart.. And the chance to see how it was 20 and 40 years ago mekes me feel even more in love with HK..
