Throughout our history, natural environment shapes our ways of living, while human involvement would give landscape a unique cultural and historical manifestation. Considering landscape as a medium of cultures, this discussion will focus on visual representations of local landscape and examine how various features of the Victoria Peak and Lion Rock would be depicted, articulated, and re-interpreted in order to reflect on the dynamic flows of ideas and creative practices. Drawing references from local gazetteers, travel guidebooks, and history photographs, it will contextualise the cultural and social values of Hong Kong’s scenic landscape, and in doing so discover the changes brought by urbanisation, the colonial experience, and globalisation.
