EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1930, offers a rare and enchanting view of Mody Road in Kowloon, Hong Kong. The scene is dominated by the imposing Lyee Moon Building, its Art Deco architecture a striking contrast against the lush greenery of the surrounding hills. To the left, the Signal Hill Tower on Blackhead Point stands proudly, its distinctive silhouette a familiar landmark for seafarers and residents alike. The Signal Hill Tower, built in 1889, was a vital communications and signalling hub during Hong Kong's early years. It served as a crucial link between the city and the outside world, facilitating the exchange of information through visual and audible signals. The time ball, visible in this photograph, was a vital component of this system, dropping at precisely 1 p.m. each day to help ships in the harbor set their chronometers accurately. This photograph transports us back to a bygone era, a time when Hong Kong was a bustling port city, its future uncertain but full of promise. The Lyee Moon Building, with its modern design, stands as a testament to the city's forward-thinking spirit, while the Signal Hill Tower, with its time-honored tradition, reminds us of the importance of communication and connection. This image is a precious piece of history, a window into the past that continues to captivate and inspire.
