Keen to Discover: The Hidden Beauty of Hong Kong
堅係山旮旯:發掘香港隱世美麗
「香港真係好靚!」呢句說話聽就聽得多,但身為一個都市人,喺繁忙嘅生活中真係好難可以放慢腳步,欣賞身邊嘅美好。今個學期,通識 (CEDARS-GE) 同電影《緣路山旮旯》嘅團隊以及活現香港 (Walk in Hong Kong) 合作,為港大同學帶嚟一系列探索香港嘅體驗。以山旮旯嘅地方作引子,帶大家認識香港歷史、發掘更多港式生活嘅可能性!
 
“Hong Kong is really beautiful!” has been a common saying among Hongkongers in recent years, but in fact, busy urbanites like us seldom have time to slow down and enjoy the beauty of this city. This semester, CEDARS-GE collaborates with the production team of the film Far Far Away and cultural enterprise "Walk in Hong Kong", curating a series of programmes for all HKU students to discover the rural areas of Hong Kong and explore different living styles in our home.
