The cosmopolitan hub that never sleeps
The central business district (CBD) of Hong Kong is a lively place both day and night, an area where multinational financial corporations rub shoulders with government headquarters.
But alongside its towering skyscrapers and huge shopping malls, you can find old buildings, small stalls, temples and churches.
Together with Sheung Wan, Mid-Levels, Sai Wan, Sai Ying Pun, Shek Tong Tsui and Kennedy Town, the CBD makes up the Central and Western District.
Last month, artists Lo Wai-hang and Wong Suk-ki led five young student photographers on a tour of the district, taking in the Star Ferry Pier, Statute Square Garden, the former Central police station, Lascar Row and Sheung Wan.
All photographs were taken by participants in the 'Through Our Eyes' programme, organised by the Robert H.N. Ho Family Foundation. The District Focus series is jointly run by the foundation and Young Post. The cameras used were sponsored by Panasonic and the Shun Hing Education and Charity Fund.
