It's been a while since we've had a new map, so let's put that right.
The picture above shows what the paper map looks like. You can also click here to see it overlaid on top of a modern map.

Old maps
Cosmo525,
Yes, I can spend many happy hours gazing at old maps too. If you don't have a copy already, you'd enjoy the 'Mapping Hong Kong' book, which is currently on special offer.
And thanks very much for helping type the current Juror's List!

Dear David, Good to know
Dear David,
Good to know there is someone out there like to gaze at maps too. As a matter of fact, I just bought the book this evening(well, my wife did that for me from Murray Bldg and was complaining about the size and weight of it!!) from the recommendation of your other post. It was on sale for $265 only.
Regards,
Eric
