Renowned as an international metropolis, Hong Kong is a melting pot of Eastern and Western culture. This unique culture of Hong Kong could be seen in our historic buildings, urban style and daily lives. To enable the general public to have deeper understanding of the culture, buildings, history and development of Hong Kong, the Trust will organise a large-scale activity - "Heritage Walk Day" on 15 December 2018 as the signature event of the 25th Anniversary of the Trust.

The following nine experts will be the VIP docents of the "Heritage Walk Day". Members of the public would have the chance to appreciate the history and heritage behind various historic and heritage sites on the Hong Kong Island and in Kowloon. Let's explore the stories of Hong Kong through these cultural marks.

*The walks will be conducted in Cantonese.
