Located in Hong Kong’s northeastern New Territories, Sha Tau Kok has been a significant settlement of Hakka people for more than 200 years. Despite its rich cultural and historical resources, many people have never visited this mysterious place. The government began opening the area in phases starting from 2012, with further openings in June 2022 and January 2024 for various reasons including tourism. Our exploration aims to shed light on the overlooked Hakka culture and military heritage in the region.

In the past, Sheung Wan was once the economic centre of Hong Kong, where many businesses started and witnessed the historical changes of the city. These old shops have either upheld traditions and continuously strived to thrive, or they have followed the pulse of the times, embracing transformation and innovation. We will lead you into Sheung Wan’s Dried Seafood Street and together explore the stories of these old shops. We will delve into traditional printing and salted fish shops, listening to the owners personally share their industry stories, understanding their significant role in Hong Kong’s development as a commercial hub, and witnessing their interaction with the cultural and tourism industries. In addition, we will also introduce new projects within the community, discussing how urban redevelopment and the pandemic have impacted the development of these traditional business and the community. At the end there is a reflective session to discuss the topic.

Play in the sun, run on the grass, feel the surprise and mystery brought by happy games, and experience the beauty and touch of natural growth.
