Mesmerising images of the amazing tower blocks of Hong Kong:

Travel photographer Jason Langley captured fascinating images of city's oldest block - the Shek Kip Mei Estate

Dizzyingly tall tower blocks create a mosaic effect as far as the eye can see in these mesmerising photos of Hong Kong's living quarters.

The housing blocks are almost hypnotic resembling a piece of abstract art thanks to their endless appearance and seemingly random colour scheme.

The apartments may look surreal, but they are home to tens of thousands of people in a city that struggles for space to accommodate its seven million

I do not like tower blocks, must be awful if the lift is not working.
