Cultural Tours in Shau Kei Wan (筲箕灣歷史文化導賞遊)
Student Development Team
Shau Kei Wan
23 July, 2017
10:00 - 12:00
Shau Kei Wan, a district located in the eastern part of the Hong Kong Island, has a long history of community development. The earliest occupants are believed to be the Hakka people who involved in stone quarrying. When Hong Kong was ceded to the British, Shau Kei Wan had developed into a big village. Because of its geographical features, it is a good typhoon shelter and a strategic site for military defence. Due to rapid urbanization in the past decades, these special features of Shau Kei Wan have become our memory and history. The cultural tours, guided by HKU student docents, will lead you to review these historical changes by walking through both the old parts and the newly built areas of Shau Kei Wan.
筲箕灣位處港島東面，是一個歷史悠久的社區。筲箕灣最早有客家人開採石礦，英國人登陸香港時，該處已有相當人口；筲箕灣也是一個天然的避風港，早有漁民聚居，亦是富有軍事戰略價值的地區。戰後的筲箕灣城市化步伐急速，社區變化很大。香港大學的學生導賞員將帶領參加者在筲箕灣的舊城區和新海旁一帶遊走，重溫這些地區歷史。
