Hong Kong Des Vœux Road Animated 1929 Real Photo Postcard

Des Voeux Road Central was a principal thoroughfare in British colonial Hong Kong, constructed primarily on reclaimed land from Victoria Harbour beginning in the late 19th century. By the early 20th century, it had rapidly developed into a vibrant commercial and administrative heart of the Central district, lined with a mix of colonial and local architecture. The iconic double-decker tram, visible in the street, began operations in 1904, marking a significant step in the city's modernization and public transport infrastructure.
