Hong Kong - View from Bowen Road: A Captivating Glimpse into the Past This photograph, taken circa 1900, offers a breathtaking view of Hong Kong from Bowen Road. The image, part of the Boswell Collection, showcases a panoramic scene of the city's stunning landscape, with a focus on a swimming pool, houses, and hills in the distance. The photograph begins with a clear, serene swimming pool, surrounded by lush greenery and framed by the edge of a terrace. The water shimmers in the sunlight, reflecting the blue sky above. Beyond the pool, a cluster of houses can be seen nestled among the hills, their red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls creating a picturesque tableau. The houses are interspersed with verdant vegetation, adding to the scene's natural beauty. The hills in the background rise majestically, their lush greenery providing a striking contrast to the urban landscape below. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of a traditional Chinese lantern, perched atop one of the houses, adding a touch of cultural richness to the image. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into Hong Kong's history and showcasing its unique blend of natural beauty and urban development. The image invites us to imagine the lives of those who lived in this bustling city over a century ago, as they went about their daily routines, enjoyed their leisure time, and marveled at the breathtaking views around them.
