In 1998, photojournalist Birdy Chu set out to record the last months of Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport and the airliners’ hair-raising descents that came close to buildings on the approach to the runway.
"I loved that iconic landing," he says. And while it has been more than two decades since the airport's closure, memories of it remain as vivid as ever. “Kai Tak is a collective memory [of] Hong Kong people ... They were happy days. The golden years of Hong Kong.”

"I loved that iconic landing," he says. And while it has been more than two decades since the airport's closure, memories of it remain as vivid as ever. “Kai Tak is a collective memory [of] Hong Kong people ... They were happy days. The golden years of Hong Kong.”

The Center, a 73-storey office tower in Hong Kong's Central district, taken at nightfall.
The building is located in an area that has been ranked the world's most expensive office location for a third straight year, and an investor is set to soon make a huge profit if sales go through.
Cassette tape magnate David Chan is putting up subdivided office units for sale, and could pull in US$170 million if it goes through. That's up to 47 per cent more than what he spent.

Hong Kong's General Post Office in Central (bottom right), built in 1976, is inspired by the German Bauhaus style of architecture.
It follows the modernist movement's clean lines and minimalist aesthetic. 'Bauhaus' loosely translates as "building house".
Hong Kong has several buildings that follow this style, although some have already been demolished. The General Post Office is slated for a 2023 demolition.
