Obsolete public property - Telephone booth
Do you remember the public payphone booths on the street? Have you ever heard the ringtone from inside a payphone booth? Where can you find the most public phones in Hong Kong?
Recently, news broke that most of the public payphone booths on the streets will be demolished. Surprisingly, this news didn't seem to capture public attention. These once-serving payphone booths have now become mere display installations. The public payphone service has fulfilled its historical mission, and people seem mentally prepared for its disappearance. However, as we witness the tide of elimination, we can still explore its development from prosperity to decline. Even if there are no plans to revive the phone booth in this city, we can keep its memory alive through books and our recollections.
