EDITORS COMMENTS
HONG KONG: SURVEYORS, 1884. Capturing the spirit of exploration and Westernization in late 19th-century Hong Kong, this photograph takes us back to a time when progress was being plotted amidst the lush jungles and towering peaks of the island. In this image, a dedicated team of surveyors can be seen meticulously plotting the route for what would become known as the iconic Peak Tramway. Against a backdrop of dense forest and rugged terrain, these men and women work tirelessly with their tools, carefully measuring distances and assessing rock formations to ensure safe passage for future travelers. Their determination is palpable as they navigate through nature's obstacles on their mission to connect Hong Kong Island's mountainous regions. This photograph not only showcases the remarkable skill and dedication of these surveyors but also serves as a testament to Hong Kong's ongoing transformation into a modern metropolis. The tramway itself would go on to revolutionize transportation in the city, providing locals and visitors alike with an unprecedented way to reach Victoria Peak effortlessly. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of both the challenges faced by those who shaped our world today and the timeless beauty that lies within Hong Kong's natural landscapes.
