Building Hong Kong

A history of the city derived from its architecture from Manchu days through to the exciting 90s. Hong Kong's ever changing cityscape is breathtaking, not only for its nocturnal glitter as seen from the heights of Victoria Peak but for the architectural diversity of its shimmering towers of commerce. This remarkable sweep of history is captured in stunning photography, and supported with a lively and evocative essay by historian and travel writer Jan Morris.
