Meet your guide by at Kam Fung Cafe to start with a light breakfast, and the tour will begin as follows:

We’ll visit the Grade 1 historical building in Hong Kong. You’ll take a look at the building’s architecture, the antiques donated by residents, learn about the history of the area, how the children spent their time before and how it evolved into the current community. You can also appreciate the street art which is newly made in this neighbourhood, to see how it interact with the people living in here.
