Hong Kong, 2013 The area just west of Central Hong Kong Island has changed immensely during the last 20 years. From a quiet relatively poor residential neighbourhood it changed in a few years in a very popular restaurant and bar district. The gentrification is moving now further to the west into Sai Ying Pun and even Kennedy Town. Most buildings in HK have all there utillty pipes for water and sewage on the outside. That is cheaper to construct. The temperature never drops under zero degrees so there is no danger the pipes will burst. Photo Kees Metselaar
