This postcard features this five-story Tong Lau in Sham Shui Po, a quintessential example of Hong Kong's colonial-era architecture. These buildings typically feature retail shops on the ground floor with residential units above, showcasing a seamless blend of function and space. The corner Tong Lau, a product of colonial building regulations, the government allowed developers to build "arcade", an overhanging structure that extended into the streets, providing shade for pedestrians while significantly increasing the usable space of the buildings. This distinctive architectural feature reflects the city’s adaptive solutions to urban challenges.
