Time Travel • Hong Kong
Recently, local tourism has flourished in Hong Kong. In addition to discovering obscure attractions across Hong Kong, how about travelling through time with artists and “travel bloggers” from the last century? CUHK Art Museum proudly presents three virtual tours that juxtapose current street views with landscape paintings and coloured slides from the 1940s to the 1970s on Google Earth. We have also prepared a travel companion booklet for you! Now sit back, relax and join us in re-visiting the Pearl of the Orient that charmed artists and poets!
