Old Street Scene in Tai Wai 大圍一角

Old Street Scene in Tai Wai 大圍一角
It is a studio drawing of a scene in Tai Wai based on some photos I took earlier, a comparatively old district in the Sha Tin area, where buildings are mostly low-rises and have been there for decades.  While many old parts of Hong Kong are being torn down and turned into super high-rises accompanied by super malls, these old charming streets with real local shops and restaurants are becoming increasingly rare.


大圍的舊樓、小店舖、餐廳加上街上的一架手推車、一張摺檯,營做出一種平民街道的人情味,是新落成大型住宅商場無法取代的!
