Land is the most precious thing in Hong Kong. The poorer dwellers resort to the water: Thousands of large families live on junks, on sampans, on rotten boats and barges. The boats that crowd in the typhoon-protected bays of the island, are moored together to a large floating city. Nowadays, these boats disappear now more and more from the cityscape.
