The "Hong Kong Heritage Tourism Expo - Access Heritage" exhibition, held by the Commissioner for Heritage's Office of the Development Bureau, is reaching its final stages. Members of the public are urged to seize this last chance to tour the exhibition.
The roving exhibition will be on display at the following locations before the end of July:
June 14 to 22 Times Square
June 23 to 28 Olympian City
June 30 to July 31 Cattle Depot
Local illustrator Chocolate Rain (Miss Prudence Mak), who provided illustrations for the exhibition and its booklet, will be conducting four activity workshops over two weekends during the exhibition period at Cattle Depot. Members of the public are welcome to register for the workshops. Details will be announced shortly.
The exhibition will later move to Beijing in July.
Admission to the exhibition is free. The exhibition introduces seven specially designed heritage tour routes with traditional and cultural flavours. The seven routes are "A Journey to the Centre of Law and Order", "A Glimpse into the Lives of Early Chinese", "Into a Big Cultural Melting Pot", "A Journey Beyond the Ordinary", "A Scary Journey!", "Memorabilia for the Movie Buff" and "A Journey to Chinese Renaissance Style Buildings". A booklet introducing the routes, "Notes of a Heritage Visitor", has been produced by the Commissioner for Heritage's Office and is being distributed to visitors free of charge during the roving exhibition period.
Commenced in December 2010, the exhibition has been shown at various locations in Hong Kong and has attracted 70,000 visitors to date.
Information about the exhibition is available on the Development Bureau's heritage conservation website (www.heritage.gov.hk).
