City Scenes in To Kwa Wan

I spent an afternoon walking around the old district of To Kwa Wan earlier, took a few photos and came up with this collage painting.

早前拍了一些土瓜灣的照片,今日用厘畫一張拼合畫。

Sketching a Bus Terminus in Kwun Tong 巨變將臨裕民坊

Sketching a Bus Terminus

The old town centre of Kwun Tong is about to undergo a big change as the buildings surrounding this bus terminus are soon going to be pulled down for a mega development. Many old small shops are already closed for good and apartments are all vacant here except the bus terminus which is still in operation.  Will this area become yet another huge air-conditioned mall?

Personally, I would prefer keeping some old buildings, have them refurbished, adding some new ones, keeping and improving the street life, instead of turning everything into a huge single indoor air-conditioned mall!

觀塘裕民坊重建在即!老店舊舖通通關門!今日特別來畫低還未變成一座巨型冷氣商場的裕民坊。
