Mong Kok Cityscape 朗豪坊

Drawn on a podium on the fourth floor of Langham Place, Mongkok, Hong Kong. It was like a little haven in the otherwise very crowded and noisy Mongkok. It was a great sketching day too as two other sketchers also joined the party:)

What a Steep Road!

Old Bailey Street, Mid-Levels, Central, Hong Kong

One the left is part of the Old Central Police Station Compound. The Mid-Levels are full of such very steep roads. Because of the steep gradient, the sidewalk on the right is made up of several flights of small steps.

朗豪坊外望 Crowded Cityscape viewed from 7th Floor Langham Place

7th floor of Langham Place. Wonderful view of the typical Mong Kok cityscape, filled with old and new buildings of various sizes and shapes. It's great place to observe the rolling summer clouds too!

Two Sketches

A quick quick sketch of a corner of Tang Lung Street, Causeway Bay. Did this while waiting on a minibus to Sai Kung.


I found a little bit of time at Hong Kong Park this evening. Sat down and sketched this. The mid-level high-rises are always fascinating, visually flanking Hong Kong Park.

Sri Lankan Restaurant, Sai Kung

The only Sri Lankan restaurant in Hong Kong, which is located in a quiet alley in Sai Kung Old Town. The sketch was done in the evening and it was difficult as I had to fend off the mosquitoes while sketching. They were so hungry that even my bug repellent didn't work!

"Lo Baan" Temple 魯班廟

A quick sketch at "Lo Baan" Temple, Ching Lin Terrace, Kennedy Town, Hong Kong

"Lo Baan" is worshipped as a protector god of all construction workers and architects in the Chinese world. What I like most of this temple is the interesting roof design.

Masonry Wall Trees at Forbes Street, Kennedy Town, Hong Kong

Wall trees are considered a unique cultural heritage in Hong Kong. They sprouted naturally on masonry walls built before the Second World War. Many of them are now mature trees that have roots wrapping up old masonry walls in many parts of Hong Kong Island. The Forbes Street wall trees is the largest and most majestic group in Hong Kong!

Sketching Central 畫中環

The historical building is now the legislative council of Hong Kong, Formerly, the Supreme Court. It was built about one hundred years ago. The three buildings behind are the Bank of China Tower on the left, the Cheung Kong Centre in the middle and the old Bank of China Tower on the right.

Afternoon Gathering

Sai Kung Town Square 3:30pm

Saturday Street Scene at Sai Kung Old Town

See Cheung Street, a main street at Sai Kung Old Town, is bustling with visitors on Saturdays. Such low density, spontaneous cityscape is getting rare in Hong Kong as many streets with old low rises are gradually pulled down for high density development.

Panda Cafe, Sai Kung Old Town

Hung Kee Seafood Restaurant, Sai Kung Town

Hung Kee Seafood Restaurant is one the many seafood restaurants along the seafront promenade of Sai Kung Town, Hong Kong. Guess what are those things placed on the pavement.

Dundas Street, Mong Kok at night!

I sat inside the Dundas Street Sitting-Out Area and spent 20 minutes to finish this sketch. The time was 9:20p.m. and Mong Kok was vibrant and crowded with people as usual. However, the sitting-out area / pocket park that I was in was very much underused. I think the gates dividing the street and the park should be removed, otherwise very few will come in.

Looking out in Midnight Hours!
