Allure of Old Hong Kong Vol 2 - revised edition
"The Allure of Old Hong Kong 2" follows the popular bestseller "The Allure of Old Hong Kong" and then released a revised edition after it was sold out. Taking advantage of the popularity of the new work "Remember: Hong Kong, Old America", readers from all walks of life kept writing to ask for reprint, so the team decided to re-review the manuscript and add new articles, and rewrite the story with historical investigation methods, and add a number of precious historical photos, which not only compares the old with the new, but also enhances the commemorative value of the collection!
In addition to enlarging the size of the book, reconfiguring the text layout, and adding new figures, the revised edition also includes:
