Exhibition of aerial photos of Kowloon Peninsula during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong

While strolling along Waterloo Road, I stumbled upon the basement atrium of Kwong Wah Hospital and was captivated by the array of black-and-white aerial photographs. These images, taken by Allied forces during World War II, gaze upon the Kowloon Peninsula from above, capturing Hong Kong under the ravages of war. The photographs reveal the old streetscapes, bombed-out buildings, and even landmarks that have vanished today. Standing before the exhibition panels, it feels like stepping back in time, gazing into history. This isn't just a display of images; it's a dialogue between space and memory. The exhibition reminds us that every brick and tile of our city has weathered storms and rebirths. If you have time, consider visiting the nearby historic buildings to keep this history alive in your heart.
