Overview
Cheng Po Hung, UMAG honorary advisor and renowned Hong Kong historian will guide us through the districts of Causeway Bay, Tin Hau and North Point. This is a continuation of Cheng's previous walk where we explored Wanchai, Happy Valley and parts of Causeway Bay. This time we will meander through nooks and crannies of Causeway Road, Electric Road and Kings Road. He will share interesting tales about their landmarks, factories, cinemas and famous organisations. In particular he will talk about “Little Shanghai” a popular nickname for the North Point area, as well as the origin and historical development of these districts.
