Synopsis

Hong Kong and Singapore.
Two cities which encapsulate the buzz and culture of Asia.

23 stories by the Hong Kong Writers Circle and the Singapore Writers Group present four faces of the home cities: the changing city, the historic city, the mystical city, and the capricious city.

These stories take you past the frontages of both cities, through their backstreets and into personal spaces pocketed within the cityscape.
