In 1924, Hong Kong was a British colony, having been ceded to Britain in 1842 after the First Opium War. It was an important port city and a major center for trade and commerce in East Asia. During this time, Hong Kong's economy was primarily based on shipping, manufacturing, and finance.

The city's population was diverse, with a mix of Chinese, British, and other ethnicities. The majority of the local population were Chinese, while the British expatriates and other foreign communities made up a significant portion of the population.

In terms of infrastructure and development, Hong Kong was already a bustling urban center. The city had a well-established harbor and modern facilities for its time. Victoria Harbour, situated between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula, played a crucial role in the city's maritime activities.

Central District, commonly known as "Central," was the heart of Hong Kong's business district even back in 1924. It was the main financial and commercial hub, home to banks, trading companies, and other corporate offices. Central's iconic landmarks, such as Statue Square and the Bank of China Building, have been significant symbols of the city's growth and prosperity.

The transportation system in 1924 mainly relied on trams, buses, and ferries. Roads and infrastructure were continuously being improved to accommodate the growing urban population.

It's important to note that the city's landscape and development have significantly changed over the years, and many modern skyscrapers and developments did not exist in 1924.
