Code: 20308292

Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel and Towers
This hotel, in Kowloon, is a real survivor. Still very popular, it has one of the best locations. And no, we don’t have any connection with it. Unused 4-3/4″ x 7-1/8″ postcard from 2010. Grade: 1

Code: 20308293
Price: $2.00
Royal vessel for Handover ceremony
British dignitaries used this in the run-up to the handover of Hong Kong from Britain to China in 1997. Of course, in this card, you can barely see it because of the support vessel. Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 20308311
Price: $2.00
Kau Ling Chung Bay
The English part of the bilingual caption reads “A desolate place” within the Lantau South Country Park, but it’s not so desolate that there aren’t buildings. Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 20308314
Price: $4.00
Tsing Ma Bridge
Thirty years ago, the idea of a bridge from Hong Kong to Lantau was almost unthinkable, much less having the airport out there. So we should think more. Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 20308315
Price: $4.00
Tsim Sha Tsui and Kowloon Peninsula
Unused card on an extraordinarily clear day. Trust us on that one. Grade: 1

Victoria Peak, Lions Pavilion
And in this photo we have what were, at the time, four of the world’s 20 tallest buildings. “Good thing there are no earthquakes in Hong Kong,” you might say. Ah, but there are! Several unused cards are available (Grades: 1, $4) and one that was mailed in 2012 from Victoria Peak itself, with Year of the Dragon stamp and a special Peak postmark, along with postal creasing (Grade: 2, $6).

Night view of Victoria Harbour
The Harbour, and therefore the Night View, is smaller now. Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 20308321
Price: $4.00
Causeway Bay typhoon shelter
The Salem sign is a dead giveaway (double pun intended, thank you) that this photo is a few years old. No more of that now, nor, really, of the typhoon shelter itself. Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 20308322
Price: $2.00
Lantau, Giant Buddha
Now accessible via the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Cars, the Giant Buddha is a key visitor attraction. Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 20308323
Price: $4.00
Peak Tower
This building reinvents itself from time to time, and one thing we have always appreciated is that the prices of most things are not all that much higher than they are down at ground level. But don’t go expecting a great view. Sigh. Several unused cards are available (Grades: 1, $2). Also one mailed from Victoria Peak in 2011 with five stamps and two special Peak postmarks (Grade: 1, $6) and another of similar description but mailed in 2012 with three stamps (Grade: 1, $5), and one more mailed in 2012 with the special postmark and one “lighthouse” stamp (Grade: 2, $5).

Code: 20308324
Price: $2.00
Peak Tram
Accurate at the time, but nothing looks like this now. Darker paint? Newer version of carriages? A touch of smog? Whatever. Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 20308325
Price: $5.00
Causeway Bay, Excelsior Hotel
One of a select group of hotels we like to call “survivors.” And, just so you know, this card shows a view east from the hotel, not the hotel itself. It’s 5″ x 7″ and unused. Grade: 1

Code: 20308326
Price: $3.00
Excelsior Hotel
Unused 5″ x 7″ card. Grade: 1

Code: 20308327
Price: $3.00
Man Mo Temple (set of four)
These are special. The set of four different unused cards (we only show one here, through the plastic wrap they are provided in) comes directly from the counter in this, Hong Kong Island’s oldest Taoist temple, dating from 1847. If you buy these, you are contributing to the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals that administers the temple. And if you come to Hong Kong, this temple is a must-see. Grades: 1

Code: 20308328
Price: $14.00
Ocean Park Amazing Asian Animals (set of seven)
Two of these unused sets are available, from 2010, each set wrapped in the original pre-printed cellophane as officially issued by Hong Kong Post. Each card has the stamp (with corresponding animal) pre-printed, good for mailing anywhere in the world–if you’re in Hong Kong, that is. Ocean Park is one of Hong Kong’s two iconic amusement parks. Grades: 1

Code: 20308329
Price: $22.00
Cheung Chau Bun Festival (set of five cards)
This is a set of five different 5-1/8″ x 7″ unused cards portraying one of Hong Kong’s most famous localized events. The cards are normally only available on Cheung Chau Island during the festival period, which takes place once a year and involves tall steel towers, lots of buns, a midnight race, and then a scramble for the ferry. Two sets are available. Grades: 1

Code: 20308330
Price: $12.00
All Wrong Act Now
To make a long story short, you need to live in Hong Kong to know what this is all about. The key idea is “timetable for democracy,” and not everyone has the same concept. These 5-3/8″ x 8-1/4″ cards were mailed to all residents, with pre-printed Hongkong Post circular postage on the reverse. All but a very few words are in Chinese. Grade: 1

Code: 20308331
Price: $5.00
Cheung Chau Bun Festival (set of ten cards)
An unused set of ten different 4-1/4″ x 6-1/4″ cards, in a photographic wrap and then all inside a sealed plastic wrap. See item 20308330 for a brief description of the festival, but this photo gives you the idea. Grade: 1
