Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre

I was there hoping to sketch the big old tree, but the good spot is now occupied but a temporary structure to house the Panyu shrine (番禺神樓) of the exhibition “Under the Same Roof: Origin and Art of Lingnan Traditional Architecture” (同一屋簷下:嶺南傳統建築源流與藝術).  I have no complaints cause that’s a really amazing exhibition.  Make sure you will catch it before it ends on 2 June 2024.

P.S.  The last pic is what I did in 2018 with the same old tree.

From Ship Street Garden

A sketch done in CNY.  Anyone can tell me what is this building from the Ship Street Garden?
