Streets of Hong Kong
Photograph by Terimax, 2015
Neon signs flood the streets of Hong Kong in a maze of colour and light,
blurring the lines between tradition and modernity with their layered
hues and striking forms that shape the nighttime landscape. Stacked
and clustered above the streets, they reflect the city's high-density
environment, each one jostling for space in the restless night. The
mix of traditional Chinese characters and English lettering, with bold
modern designs, gives the city a distinctive visual identity, once an
unmistakable hallmark of its urban nightscape. Though many have been
replaced by LED displays, these neon signs remain a lasting symbol of
an era when the streets pulsed with electric colour.
