The colonial island of Hong Kong began its dramatic transformation as one of the spoils of the notorious Opium Wars, but its dubious birth was soon forgotten as the fast-growing entrept became one of the glittering prizes of Empire.

This award-winning book, now in its 4th revised edition matches and contrasts sepia images of early Hong Kong with breathtaking contemporary photography.
