And what a year it was. From inner turmoil to a worldwide pandemic, Hong Kong has emerged as resilient and energetic as she always does.
We asked a few of our favourite HK urban photographers to share some magical moments from the last twelve months. The city might have been a little quieter and the streets significantly emptier, but the sounds, the smells, the spirit and the beauty of this great place still bounce off every page.
We thank them for sharing their art with us and encourage you to check out their individual pages to see more of the city we all adore…

這一年，地球變得不一樣！從內心的動盪到全球疫情，香港依然强韌、仍舊魅力無限。我們邀請了數名街頭攝影師，分享過去十二個月的一些香港心動時刻。 攝影未必是他們的專業，但在鏡頭下，我們看到了他們對這個城市的愛與關懷，感覺到她的脈搏、聲音、氣味、情態、活力以及 — 最重要的是 — 她的美，這一切在每張照片展露無違。感謝這群攝影師與我們分享他們的作品，並希望你也查看他們的個人專頁，感受香港的「覺·渡」......
