A homeless woman rests beside the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Tsim Sha Tsui. Many of the homeless in Hong Kong are elderly who have no children/family to look after them or whose children/family do not look after them. Nevertheless, you don't see many of them begging. They are able to make some money by gathering recycleable materials, like carboard and metals, from the streets.
