Hong Kong's vibrant streets, once illuminated by the dazzling glow of neon signs, are witnessing a nostalgic comeback. Famous for their appearance in cult classics like \\"Blade Runner\\", these iconic signs were phased out due to public safety concerns. The government's push for cheaper and more efficient LED lighting led many establishments to replace their beloved neon displays.
However, the spirit of Hong Kong's neon heritage is far from extinguished. Recently, a wave of businesses has begun commissioning new neon signs that adhere to stringent safety regulations. This initiative not only preserves a cherished cultural tradition but also ensures the well-being of the public. As Hongkongers embrace these safe, yet visually stunning signs, the city's nights are set to regain their classic charm while meeting modern standards.
