I’m from Hong Kong and was born in 1989. Thank you for recording the beautiful HK with this amazing video and sharing it on here. This is the only HK I remember.
As a true HongKonger born in the late 60s, who had left Hong Kong for more than a decade...I couldn't thank enough for your precious video, which recorded the most memorable golden year of my life ~ 1990!
Hongkong 90s looked so hectic but magical, there was everything from metropolis buildings to cramped up apartments and open market. Felt like a movie fantasy, a world apart from where you from. I feel sad for Hongkong people because of what they have to go through right now.
Yeah i remember it exactly what is shown in the video. Late 80s HK was a great time as well. I guess UK leaving was a bad idea. Mainlanders made HK not as good as it was before. Not sure but this is coming from a foreigner's perspective. Not sure how local Hong Kong residents felt about it
I am a Hong Konger, many people in Hong Kong live in fear, without freedom of speech, without the fair laws, human rights, if you say something the government doesn’t like, you will be imprisoned, the economy will be ruined, a place with no future in sight, Hong Kong Most of it was not destroyed in the hands of the Communist Party, but in the hands of a group of people who betrayed Hong Kong, those who benefited from politics
@@janelyncheung Yeah that is what my sentiments exactly. Though I want to know the reason why the locals wanted the UK to leave and let china take over.
This is 1990 not the 90s 1990 was still very 80s at this point. 1996 or 1997 was the authentic 90s even 2000 represents more the 90s than 1990.Dont confuse 1990 with the 90s. Its like saying that the year 2000 is the same as say 2008 very different.
Watching this clip got me all choked up with tears. Thank you for sharing. Thank you England and the real HongKongers for making HK what it once was. So long Hong Kong, RIP, you will always have a spot in my heart.
The good old days of Hong Kong. A vibrant city full of hard working and creative people. Endless impressions to be amazed. Traditional food markets with cheaky but kind merchants haggling for every dollar. Huge skyscrapers only one block further. Heat outside, AC inside. Hot, cold, hot, cold. And then there was something else in the old days of British rule. Something no camera can easily film: Freedom of speech, freedom religion, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press, a truly independent judiciary and the rule of law. God save the Queen.
Not really a fallacy on balance. True, the early movers after the war had built wealth and were taking over the economy, but in 1990 there was still freedom of all sorts to do quite a bit. It even became more open after that...for a while.
Indeed. I see many people (supporters of the CCP) who argue that British Hong Kong wasn't a true democracy. Yes, that might be true, but it was a thousand times better than modern day Hong Kong. And remember that even if the British were to enforce their laws on Hong Kong, none of their laws called for the eventual establishment of a totalitarian regime.
@@tsumugikotobuki0131 Right! British Hong Kong was NOT democratic but it had civil liberties and the rule of law with a truly independent judiciary. It was a semi-democratic system. And above all: The governor of Hong Kong was dependent on and accountable to a truly democratic government (in London). It was NOT AT ALL compareable to today's Hong Kong.
Finally get to see the good old Hong Kong I missed were I was born and raised and remembered. So as many fellow Hong Kongers, this is what we called Hong Kong and it will always have a place in my heart. Thank you for sharing ..
I love HK. Still do. My top 1 city in Asia along with Tokyo. Everything I like in life is mostly there. Been going there as a young boy in 1979 until 2019.
We were here at the same time. Stayed at the Sheraton so many times. Across from the space dome and next to the Peninsula hotel. Nathan road was great to walk along .
Thanks so much for sharing this video, helping me to remember what my home town looks like when I was much younger. It was a different place, vibrant, lively with freedom and full of opportunities. Trust that you enjoyed your trip back then. Wished you and family all the best.
So true, that period was the end of the most amazing times. These videos remind me of why I came in the first place and sadly also confirm my worst fears that the Hong Kong I knew and truly loved is long dead. Still, we can feel lucky to have experienced those times.
I loved Hong Kong in the 90s. I was born there in 1990. I saw this through the eyes of a child and felt really lucky to have experienced it. All the sky scrapers, it felt like you were in another world. Thank you for uploading this.🥲. Did you go to Ocean Park? X This is how I remember it. 😮 YES!!! Those ferries too to get from AtoB. ❤
Hi, thanx for your comment. I remember that it was as common as it is today to travel to far away places from the 1970 onwards as it is tody, in 1990 it definitely was.
Thanks for this! A trip down the memory lane. I prefer the HK now in terms of transportation, but prefer the old lifestyle/culture back in the 90s. Just more... international... a true international city, and less reliance on Mainland China.
it was torn down in 1993. Now, it's a park with some historical sites. It's a pity to tear it down though it's the centre of drug abusing, gangsters and sex workers
Danke für dieses mittlerweile geschichtliche Video! Ich war in den 1990igern sehr oft in Hong Kong und vermisse diese Zeit. Da war in Hong Kong die Welt noch in Ordnung. Das sagen selbst die Hongkonger! Die Preise waren gut, und selbst der Durchschnitts-Hongkonger konnte noch gut leben. Die britische Regierung war zwar auch nicht immer gut, aber zumindest hat sie den Hongkongern nie gesagt was sie tun oder lassen sollen!
Danke für Deinen Kommentar. Ja, das lese ich von Hongkongern immer wieder heraus das sie in Nostalgie schwärmen, sehr verständlich. Wenn ich richtig interpretiere, von Deinen Videos und Profilbild, bist Du geflogen? Dann wohl auch auf dem früheren Hongkonger Flughafen gelandet!
@@happyhappy6735 Then explain why there was British leadership in lot's of other places in Asia and Africa and they are not so good and prosperous like Hk
@@jiajiezhang592 and Australia, and New Zealand are so good under British leadership and beyond. Now you look at China and HK, how crap and messy they are now!
It's funny how these big cities and city centers look like, it seems like I'm watching a video of my city center when I was little and I'm from southeastern Brazil.
31yrs gone...Y Can’t I turn back the clock, bring the wheels of time to a stop. It used to be a hundred flowers in bloom . Now, it is just a soulless CN financial centre.
1990 in HK i was the happiest kid.
Same😊
Same ✌️✌️✌️
u put kids today back to 90s they will cry
Glad the British are out.
HK people are Chinese, any body from HK that think they are not Chinese is delusional.

Thx for the video, Seeing how what Hong Kong has become now saddens me
Finally get to see the good old Hong Kong I missed were I was born and raised and remembered.
So as many fellow Hong Kongers, this is what we called Hong Kong and it will always have a place in my heart.
Thank you for sharing ..
I am glad you found my video and that it brings back some good memories
Danke fürs Teilen, ich war auch 1990 wieder in HK, so viel Erinnerung.
Bitte gerne! :-)

No amount of sorrow in the world can measure the sadness that I feel about what has happened to HK.
thx for sharing. I can see my old home at 7:30
That's Nam Kok Road in Kowloon City.
@ChillLetsPlays many poverty guys from mainland china lived there
@ChillLetsPlays and many storey buildings built as public houses to be shelters for those people
I moved to Hong Kong in June of 1990 with my family and it was much more exciting than this video depicts. This is 1995 Hong Kong.
We were here at the same time. Stayed at the Sheraton so many times. Across from the space dome and next to the Peninsula hotel. Nathan road was great to walk along .

I'm so glad that you decided to share this video - amazing footage - you can feel the awe and spectacle felt at the time.

I have been to HK this year 90.

90s in hk was so cool... Especially when they still had hawkers
Thanks for sharing! 🙂
香港加油！榮光定再現！！
Was better under British control
What a feeling it must have been to spend time far away in Hong Kong in the 90s when travelling long distance wasn't that common as it is today
Hi, thanx for your comment. I remember that it was as common as it is today to travel to far away places from the 1970 onwards as it is tody, in 1990 it definitely was.
Thanks Stefan Michalowsky.
The first music " Smooth Sailing" is great match.
the time when hk just grown up as a internation city
Old Hong Kong I missing you 😔
so long hongkong😢
現在是二零二零年和我覺得一九八零年的香港是非常美麗🇭🇰
青山依舊在，只是朱顏改。物是人非。merci pour votre video。

Still missing hk 😞
How iconic Hong Kong is. Best city in the world. You need to live there to realise the magic of the city.
Tram is my favorite. I take trams everyday
My God. There was NOWHERE on Earth like 90's HK ❤
I was born in 1993
Everything looked good in the 80sHong Kong
I’m almost 30 years old ,somethings can’t go back ...feel resigned....
You can see The legendary Walled City at 0.47 :)
Before CCP, Hong Kong was a richest, famous for tourist and popular movies.
Nostalgisches
Das ist gefreies Hongkong
Lufthansa, Thai Airways. Love those familiar airline logos.
Very nice, thank you so very much,

I really want to visit HK one day, it’s beautiful!
HK today is under the jackboot of the CCP dictatorship.
@@Joke_Bidumb absolutly right
Don’t bother.
It’s not like that anymore now that the autocratic mainland Chinese government has crushed the soul out of the city.
how s going?
Hong Kong was so beautiful, too bad the Communists ruined it
Yes😢
And continuing to do so...

miss the good old days
And they still operate the tram until today 😮
Hongkong 32 years ago and this is Vietnam's future in next 20 years.
Thanks for sharing! Would you recall whereabouts was it at 3:18 with the tram sharing so much of the street with hawkers and pedestrians?
Just a guess, but that could be in North Point where the tram goes right through a market.
it's Chun Yeung Street in North Point
I wish to live in that era....... but i was born in the days when HK had already been invaded by chi na
good old days
The good '90s !
