-
San Tin Road, Yuen Long
Yuen Long is one of the fast-growing satellite cities, north of the principal urban areas and in the New Territories. Be assured the area has changed quite a lot since this photo was taken. Unused card, Grade: 1
-
H.K. – Macau Ferry Terminal, Sheung Wan
We remember when the terminal was not much more than a wooden shed. The photo on this unused card probably dates back to the 1980s as it looks like those twin towers are still under construction. Grade: 1
-
North Point, Aerial view Eastern Highway
In a situation where there are almost literally more vehicles than road space, what’s the solution? Build more highways, of course! Unused card. Grade: 1
-

-
Discovery Bay at Lantau Island
So much we could say, but so little space. Unused card. Grade: 1
-
Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon
The long building extending out to the left in front is Ocean Terminal, where really large cruise ships used to berth before the harbour became too small for them. You can still spend a lot of money in the shops, though. Unused card. Grade: 1
-
Aerial view of Wanchai and Tsim Sha Tsui East
Unused card. Grade: 1
-
Yuen Long, Fairview Park
Unused card of an absolutely atypical private housing estate. Grade: 1
-
Tsim Sha Tsui, Cultural Centre and Star Ferry Pier
When the old Kai Tak Airport closed in 1998, height restrictions on building in this area were lifted, and so a similar photo now would show all the tall buildings that have gone up since this card was made. Remarkable. Unused card. Grade: 1
-
Tuen Mun, Gold Beach of Gold Coast
Unused card. Grade: 1
-
Tai Po Industrial Estate and Tai Po Gas Factory
An odd choice of subjects for a tourist card, but there you have it. Unused card. Grade: 1

Hong Kong Tea Museum – Production of Ceramics (set)
This set of 12 unused cards comes in a sort of Zip-Loc thick plastic case, which we have tried to show in the scan, which itself shows the reverse of the set and therefore all of the cards. The Tea Museum is a wonderful place tucked away in Hong Kong Park, and the building it’s in has a long and colourful history as well. Unused cards. Grade: 1
-
Hong Kong Tea Museum – Production of Tea (set of 12)
This set of 12 unused cards comes in a sort of Zip-Loc thick plastic case, which we have tried to show in the scan, which itself shows the reverse of the set and therefore all of the cards. The Tea Museum is a wonderful place tucked away in Hong Kong Park, and the building it’s in has a long and colourful history as well. Unused cards. Grade: 1

-
Working Dogs in Government Services (Maximum Cards) (set)
Issued by Hongkong Post in 2012, this is a set of six different cards, each showing a different breed of dog with corresponding Maximum Card stamp.

Prices are the same regardless. Each set in original Hongkong Post cellowrap. Grades: 1

Once in Kowloon, now on an old, unused card. Grade: 2

-
MTR map
“Legitimate” MTR map cards do not exist in Hong Kong. An online company in China either does or did offer these for sale, and we were very lucky (and grateful) to get this one, mailed to us from inside Hong Kong in 2012 with stamp and postmark–along with major postmark transfer on the front. We suspect these would be good sellers if they were commercially available here, though they would need frequent updating. Grade: 3

-
The Hong Kong International Airport (Kai Tak) & Ngau Tau Kok / Kwun Tong
Unused card of the airport that closed in 1998. Grade: 1

Historical Postcard Collections of Hong Kong (set of 15)
Sealed in the original cello-wrap, so we do not know exactly what cards are inside. The front says “Aerial View Collection of Hong Kong / The Beautiful Hong Kong,” and the reverse (not shown) says there are 15 postcards, and displays what may be more of them than what you see on the front. Grade: 1
-
Aerial view of Tai Koo Shing
Private housing estate. Unused card, Grade: 1
