A Walk Along Trees

If one were to design one or two urban tree-watching paths in the concrete jungle of Hong Kong... Architectural designer Alfred Ho sought out various tree-watching spots and walked with us to connect the dots. Along the way, we crossed paths with trees, perhaps they unfolded tales of architectural spaces, community lore, and even whispered fears; perhaps an ancient and valued tree or even an unremarkable one was transformed by its connection to an elderly; perhaps the scent of flowers evoked childhood memories, carried on the wind; perhaps some offered a canopy like an umbrella, coexisting in harmonious accord with their surroundings, a purely visual pleasure. So, we followed Alfred from Sai Wan to Admiralty, and then from Tsim Sha Tsui to Tai Kok Tsui, watching trees and embracing the city from a novel perspective.
