Fans of Hong Kong’s architecture and urban landscape can now check out the city’s iconic landmarks in miniaturized form. Hong Kong’s Urban Renewal Authority and the Chinachem Group have put together an exhibition of scaled-down replicas of street scenes covering the city’s past and present, and have even tried to create scenes set in the future. Held to mark the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to the motherland, the show, at Central Market, runs until July 16.
