I find it sad that the HK Govt'. is "modernizing" so much of what is charming about HK. Any idea what the government's rationale is on not preserving more of HK's history through these buildings? Just curious. I went to the guy's site and see a lot about the activities to save things (which I applaud) but not much on why it's happening.
