Hong Kong Drone Gallery - Lam Tei

Lam Tei is a rarity, a village retaining its original charm and has not yet been invaded by big chain shops. Although only a short light rail ride from Siu Hong station on the West Rail, this area is still mostly lowrise with a maze of narrow laneways around it to form a village of its own. Hong Kong has plenty of land to develop, yet the government has not managed land reform and usage abuse properly, so they tend to think reclamation is the easiest solution despite the enormous cost and environmental damage it causes.
