In 1978 the economic boom was in full swing. Hong Kong soon became a tourist trap, more than ever. No more junks with sails in the harbour. Nathan Road full of glaring neon lights. But sampans remained, thanks heaven. Yet, there is nostalgia, even for that time - 33 years ago. When I came to HK in 1949 there were 1.8 million people. In 1978 there were already 4.7 million!

I remember that time so well. I was 36 and enjoying my work in HK. In the evening it was so relaxing to go out with friends, take the Star Ferry to Kowloon and find new places to eat. Half the population was under-25! So the energy, optimism and speed of doing things was wonderful.Thanks for this precious footage, Michael.

No footage of HONG KONG is complete without a B747 making the turn to line up to runway 13. Thanks Mr. Rogge!!

@michaelijsbrand 13 лет назад

@Bouncybon. I went often on Saturday afternoons to Kowloon. The name Tsim Sha Tsui was hardly known under foreigners. In the early fifties I went to Radio People, a bookshop there, the wooden chest district, and hunting for new LP's, topping it of with a chocolate milkshake at the Dairy Farm.

Thank you Mr. Rogge to share such lot of priceless memories to us. Thank you from Hong Kong.

At 0.29, it shows buildings under construction...at the near sight the bun-like Space Museum at Tsimshatsui, at the middle part extending beyond the sea wall the then Regent Hotel now renamed the Inter Continental HK, and on the right the then New World Centre now reconstructed as K11 Artus. In 1978, I was no longer a resident site staff, and had moved to the head office at New World Tower in Central. Thank you, Mr. Rogge, for bringing back such nice memories of my good old days.

Looking at what's happening in HK today makes me really sad to watch this video. Thanks for the upload. This is the HK I remember as a child.

I was born there 1936, left in 1956, and came back on an around the world trip in 1963, starting from New York. Was divorced in 1984 by my Chinese wife, and vacation alone there in 1989 also to my childhood place in Guangzhou. George Wu, ARCHITECT , AIA, NCARB 2018-8-27

I'm so glad to watch these two countries on youtube in decades later as the newer generations looking back on their former generation how their lives was like and looked.

@AFaceintheCrowd01 2 года назад

I lived there eight years before the boom. It was exciting, mysterious, fascinating. Consumer culture to the nth degree. This is a marvelous film and narration. Nice to see a shot of Jimmy’s Kitchen, one of the city’s best-known restaurants, a favorite among expats.

@mtwg9307 5 лет назад

Blooming age.. living hard but rapid growth in entire society. Everyone had positive thinking for living better. Really a golden period of Hong Kong.

@hoteladdict2012 11 лет назад

Fantastic! I like to see your videos and it always bring out amazement on how life was decades ago! In those days, only the rich, soldiers, business people, journalist or government officials could travel to so many places around the world.. which camera did you use for this video? It look very clear even when taking night video.

@gragrn 13 лет назад

@ladycharsw 3 года назад

Hi Micheal. I always watching these videos you put on. I come by them when I am looking to see Hong Kong again. I just watched the Life. of a boy in 1980. I think he was 10 .Four kuds in the family and the mother, father, grandpa and grandma. They always played a game at night when the kids went to sleep. Looked kind of like Dominoes, we play in the USA. How are you these days. Miss seeing you on the cell phone. 😀🙏❤

@kykong 13 лет назад

Dear Michael, I am wondering whether you were in a tram when you were filming at 2:05. I can see the rail on the road. The market and the people were so close. You also went to a toy factory to film how they made toys. Interesting.

@GluteMaximuz Год назад

North Point market I would guess

@jamesng9831 3 года назад

Hi Mike: How are you doing? In your opening statement you mention the population in Hong Kong in 1949 was 3 million while in 1978 it was 6 million. I just googled and found the population in Hong Kong in 1949 was 1.8 million while in 1978 was 4.6 million. I hope such findings would be helpful to your viewers.

@michaelijsbrand 3 года назад

You are quite right. I have adjusted the figures. Thanks a lot.

@sallyli7452 5 месяцев назад

I am getting rid of old clothes and came across some Made in HK garment. Some are still brand new, my bad habit of buying too much every time I went back to HK. I don't want to throw them out as I think they belong to a museum!! A long time ago, I watched on TV about a "Made in HK" museum. I wonder if it is still in operation?

@Peace-xl6pe 5 лет назад

1978 China starting open and hongkong becomes to the investment entrance of China. Then booming. 2019 China decide open his own gate of economic, Hong Kong fade.
