A dramatic montage style poster issued by the HKTA with numerous Hong Kong landmarks and symbols including a Chinese sailing junk, pagodas, Kowloon Station clock tower, the Star Ferry terminal and City Hall high building and the Hong Kong Bank head office, all set below a blazing sunset. Certainly this was imagery intended to entice visitors to visit “exotic†Hong Kong.
