Pottinger Street, Central District

Constrasting styles of clothing can be seen: the traditional white-top and black trousers worn by servants versus the modern cheongsams worn by noble women. The hawker food-stalls on the right have not changed very much. This street was the original home of a Hong Kong landmark, the Yung Kee Restaurant, famous for its roasted goose.
