What did tourists do in Hong Kong 100 years ago? The Avenue of Stars certainly didn't exist then.
This is the subject of the current exhibition "Early Hong Kong Travel (1880-1939)" which showcases more than 100 exhibits at the University of Hong Kong Museum and Art Gallery.
Louis Vuitton and the Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotels Limited have contributed to the exhibition and LV's vintage monogrammed trunks are a big draw.
But the museum's honorary advisor Benjamin W. Yim, who has loaned much of his own collection of Hong Kong tourism historical artifacts to the exhibit, hopes that visitors will enjoy the show in its entirety.
"This exhibition can give everyone a perspective of Hong Kong history," says Yim.
