Heritage

Came across this model of an interesting example of a 1920s Chinese shophouse.

Just like the real thing, the exhibit's ground floor is being set aside for commerce of sorts whilst families live in the terraced floors above the street.

It would really be heartache to see the local government mess up the restoration or the preservation project of these tenements because this type of heritage is almost gone from everywhere else in Hong Kong.
