Chinese Junks - the "Boat People"
(Photography by Karsten Petersen)

Here a view over another typhoon shelter, - the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter -, where a large assembly of junks used to be permanently moored. Of course this common sight from the seventies are long gone and the "Boat People" are settled ashore -
This is on Hong Kong island, and across the Victoria Harbour you can see the buildings of the Tsimshatsui water front on the Kowloon peninsula. Photographed on Nov. 2. 1977.
