Kowloon was my first experience of Asia back in 2012. Anytime I return to Hong Kong I stay there for at least a couple of nights. It helps that many of the most affordable hotels are located in Kowloon—but I also like how gritty, rundown, and real it is, particularly when compared to the naked display of wealth and privilege seen on the other side of Victoria Harbour on Hong Kong Island itself.
Last weekend I crossed the strait for a brief visa run and, after finding an excellent deal on a hotel on Agoda, once again found myself lost in the immensity of Kowloon. Naturally I spent a good part of my trip wandering around the city documenting my impressions. Collected here are several of my photos from this trip…
Memories of Kowloon. Great photography. Really captured getting lost in Kowloon.
Lived in Hong Kong for a few years back in the 90s. Worked mainly in the industrial areas as the only English person in the company usually so did a lot of eating out and socialising with the locals. Your pictures really take me back to that good time. Thanks. Hong Kong is an amazing place.
We are guesthouse in the Alhambra building. Can I use your picture “Looking down from the Alhambra Building” on our website? That picture is really amazing !!
