Into The Past ... But Today

While walking in Hong Kong’s Western District, we came across a shop that felt like a museum piece. It was full of items that would not have looked out of place in a shop in 1960s or 70s Hong Kong. Yet, mixed in among the old, were some modern items. 
Individual photographs cannot convey the sense of a crowded cave of intriguing pieces from past times, though viewed on this album page you may get a sense of it.
The old parts of this district are fast disappearing, to be replaced by modern development as the last picture shows.
