Content introduction: The two authors collaborated again after "Wan Chai Paintings of the Past" to write "Sham Shui Po Paintings of the Past". Sham Shui Po is located between the old and the new, with unique architectural structures such as the Li Cheng Uk Ancient Tomb and the Bishop Hill Reservoir, which are unique; religious groups have made many contributions and benefited the people; schools have nurtured talents with the spring breeze and rain; and shops have frequent transactions with low prices and good quality. The two authors have conducted research for many years, visited every corner of Sham Shui Po, used pictures and texts to make urban sketches, displayed old photos, combined interesting stories, and achieved fruitful results. In the ever-changing Hong Kong city, the two authors capture changes in things and allow readers to appreciate the local customs and practices with endless fun.

Wan Chai has always been a place where old and new coexist, and Chinese and Western cultures are mixed. It is full of the life breath of different social classes, attracting many citizens and tourists to linger and enjoy. The two authors of this book have designed inspection routes with different themes, including "history", "life" and "coastline", leading readers to shuttle through the streets and alleys of Wan Chai, and take a closer look at the landmark buildings, historical sites and cultural landscapes along the way. They showcase more than 500 original sketches and on-site photos, combined with detailed historical documentary materials and field inspection results, to tell readers about the past and present of Wan Chai, as if opening a treasure trove full of Wan Chai stories, which is wonderful and colorful.
