1980s in Hong Kong marks a period when the territory was known for its wealth and trademark lifestyle.
Still a crown colony (later dependent territory) of the United Kingdom, Hong Kong would be recognised internationally for its politics, entertainment and skyrocketing real estate prices. It would also go on to be the subject of intense negotiations between Britain and China, which would be resolved in the Sino-British Joint Declaration.
These fascinating photos were taken by
