Sketching Kowloon City 九龍城的高與低

Sketching Kowloon City

It's done on a rooftop of an old industrial building in Kowloon City, Hong Kong.  The buildings here are usually low rises as the old Kai Tak Airport was once here in the heart of Hong Kong.  The high rises are all new additions to the cityscape after the moving of the old airport in 1997.

以前飛機在啟德機場升降,九龍城一帶都有樓宇高度限制,形成九龍城矮樓伴獅子山獨特的面貌。機場後來搬了,高度限制解除,一幢幢高高的新樓慢慢進駐九龍城,獅子山與其山脈也不再一氣呵成了。
