The neon light sign is a signature of Hong Kong. The signs are always red in color, with some white words. As early as the 1930s, signs have appeared in Hong Kong. With the times going on, the style of signs is changing ! The followings are the new one I hate it so much!

The following one is use a very traditional style which called golden word in Chinese. Means want to have many business! Of course, modern people will not really use the real gold to make the sign, but people in ancient times have found that color will affect the desire to buy!

In recent years, thousands of signboards have been dismantled and sent to the garbage room because of government regulations. If you come to Hong Kong, please take more photos to record the history of the signs!

近年來,由於政府規定,數千個招牌被拆除並送到垃圾場, 如果你光臨香港,請拍攝更多照片來記錄招牌的歷史!
