About the Book

The profiles of urban Asian cities are reconfigured by information technology and economic changes. With a vernacular of urban glamour, people living in these Asian cities are alluding to the pulsating universe with rampant consciousness to order and nature.

Situating the specifics of the cities of Seoul, Tokyo and Hong Kong, the book serves to capture the author’s experience with her personal stamp. Her stories serve as a node connected to global circuits for readers to identify themselves in the cultural grid of the revolving world.

This book serves as an anchoring of multiple cultural and cross-border dynamics. The author hopes acquainting readers would enjoy her traveling experience and orientate a new perspective of the niceties of Asian city life.

I enjoy travelling. I like taking pictures in journeys to grasp the memorable moments. As a Chinese who was born and lives in the multi-cultural Hong Kong, I write this book and hope acquainting readers would enjoy my travelling experience and have a new perspective of the niceties of Asian city life.
