East of Victoria Park, shops and office towers make way for residential buildings in this congested stretch of a few thin blocks from the harbour.

There aren't that many large shopping malls in the district, so residents rely on these smaller wet markets for their grocery needs.

Chun Yeung Street is famous for an open-air wet market with stalls that extend onto the tram line. These types of markets are a rarity today.

Ferries once served as the key mode of transport across the harbour into Kowloon. The area in front of the ferry terminal is being redeveloped after several public housing blocks were razed.

Let's see who can afford these ...

Ming Yuen West Street is a one-way street heading steeply uphill, with residentials on either side. Surprisingly quiet yet, living here appears a world away from Chun Yeung Market nearby.
