Heritage Photography and Stories dedicated to magnificent old shops of Hong Kong. The aim is to illustrate how storefronts generally looked in the previous decades and the histories enclosed within these walls. The book is divided into two chapters - food and living - with more than 90 stories of endurance and those gradually declining industries. The photographs captured in this book are indelible mementoes of erstwhile store owners and their enduring spirit.
Hong Kong Old Shops is a photobook and an invitation into a bygone ear. Some of the stores showcased in this collection are now defunct artefacts kept alive only through the photographs on these pages.
Tsui Piu is an award-winning photographer specialising in culture and travel.
