In this picture taken on October 22, 2013 in Hong Kong, a visitor reads informations of past residents on a wall marked with a block number in reference of the way early public housing building were marked, at the museum of the Mei Ho House, a public resettlement block built in 1954 and renovated to be turned into a youth hostel. While heritage regularly falls victim to construction in one of the most densely populated cities in the world, the building was preserved as a record of Hong Kong's public housing development. The museum takes visitors through the history of Sham Shui Po, the district where the building has stood for half a century.
