Looking High Above in Tsuen Wan 高瞻遠看荃灣市


My last visit to Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong was back to the 1980s, just before my emigration to Toronto.  It was already 30 odd years.  Tsuen Wan had been undergoing development since 1970s.  Wide-scale reclamation and development of the public and private residential estates were done and eventually changed Tsuen Wan to a busy traffic hub and new satellite city.  On 3 December 2011, I visited this city again but felt that it was full of high-rises.  As time had brought great changes, I could barely recognize the city after more than 30 years.  While in the midst of a busy city, I could find something peculiar with special feeling observing high above in Tsuen Wan city.  All these were recorded in this album.

我最後踏足荃灣是80年代移民之前,轉眼已有30多年了。荃灣自70年代已開始發展,大規模的填海和公共屋邨和私人屋苑相繼進行,使荃灣成為一個交通交匯和衛星新市鎮。2011年12月3日重臨荃灣市中心,到處高樓矗立,滄海桑田,我也難以記得30年前的荃灣模樣了。在走進這新市鎮中,抬頭卻找到這市區的特別景觀和感覺,輯成專輯。
