SUNSET SURVIVORS
YAU MAI TEI, HONG KONG, 2019
By Lindsay Varty and Gary Jones
‘Sunset Survivors’ is a coffee table book by writer Lindsay Varty and photographer Gary Jones that tells the stories of Hong Kong’s traditional tradesmen and women through stunning imagery and candid interviews. Covering a myriad of curious professions that are quickly falling into obscurity, readers soon find themselves immersed in the streets of old Hong Kong. This Yau Ma Tei walking route will bring you to five of the people and their shops featured in the book.

“Yau Ma Tei is known for its unique character, combining old and new. You will find ancient temples and century-old fruit markets right next to modern shops and popular tourist attractions. But it’s the eclectic mix of people that make this neighbourhood tick.”
