Ap Lei Chau
Ap Lei Chau is rich in cultural and historical significance, offering insights into the coastal beauty of Hong Kong. Ap Lei Chau has a rich history as a former fishing village and a strategic location during the British rule.Its a masterclass in the "Vertical City" aesthetic that defines Hong Kong. Once a quiet enclave for boat-dwellers and shipbuilders, this island—remarkably one of the most densely populated landmasses on Earth—has evolved into a spectacular visual collision of worlds. Here, the lens captures a jarring yet beautiful harmony: salt-crusted fishing trawlers docked in the shadow of gleaming 50-story residential towers, and incense-filled temples standing defiant against the sprawl of industrial outlet malls. It is a place where the gritty textures of maritime history meet the sleek lines of modern urbanism, all framed by the dramatic, jagged peaks of the Southern District.
