Awesome infographic brings the history of Chinese junk boats to life

We have a sneaking suspicion that this weekend is going to be the official start of this season’s chaos of junk parties. We hope you abs and your liver are ready!

To celebrate this momentous occasion, we bring you some junk-related education via the medium of everyone’s favourite low-effort learning tool – the infographic.

Created by Olivia Wilshire for HotelClub, the illustrated study walks us through the important role traditional Chinese junks have played in the shaping of the modern world, particularly Hong Kong.

And note, we said “traditional” – so the fibreglass, sub-woofered floating frat party you’re going on this weekend isn’t quite the same.
