  • Tourist District Enhancement Programme - the Peak
    LC Paper No.CB(1)1303/04-05(05) For discussion on 25 April 2005 Legislative Council Panel on Economic Services Tourist District Enhancement Programme - The Peak Purpose This paper seeks Members’ support for the proposed Tourism District Enhancement Programme for the Peak. Problem 2. There is a need to enhance the appeal of the Peak as a premier attraction of Hong Kong. Proposal 3. The Director of Architectural Services (D Arch S), with the support of the Secretary for Economic Development and Labour, proposes to upgrade 391RO to Category A at an estimated cost of $142.6 million in money-of-the-day (MOD) prices to implement the improvement works in the Peak. Background 4. To enhance and sustain Hong Kong’s attractiveness as a premier tourist destination, the Tourism Commission (TC) has since 2000 embarked on a Tourism District Enhancement Programme (The Programme)1.

  • Interpretation Study on the Site of Former Mountain Lodge and Its Surrounding Areas
    INTERPRETATION STUDY ON THE SITE OF FORMER MOUNTAIN LODGE AND ITS SURROUNDING AREAS FOR ANTIQUITIES AND MONUMENTS OFFICE, LEISURE AND CULTURAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT Executive Summary November 2011 The Oval Partnership 1 2 Contents 003 Introduction 004 Statement of Significance 009 Interpretation Study 011 Conclusion 016 List of Plans 017 Acknowledgements 018 Cover : Photo of Victoria Peak Garden (Source : Oval Feb 2009) 3 1. Introduction 1.1 Background The Former Mountain Lodge (FML) at Victoria Peak was built between 1900 and 1902 as the summer residence of the Governors of Hong Kong. Following an extended period of vacancy and neglect during the war years and due to the state of disrepair, the main buildings and servant’s quarters were completely pulled down in 1946 while the Gate Lodge was retained. In the 1970s the site was redeveloped and opened to the public as the Victoria Peak Garden with the Gate Lodge subsequently declared a monument in 1995. Following an initial archaeological survey in 2007 and in response to rising concerns on heritage conservation and growing interest in cultural tourism, this study was commissioned by the Antiquities and Monuments Office (AMO) of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department to examine the historical value of the site of the FML and its surrounding areas, formulate an interpretation strategy and propose interpretation plans. 1.2 Report Structure The study basically comprises two reports, namely the ‘Statement of Significance’ (Part 1) and ‘Study Report’ (Part 2) concluding with an executive summary of the findings. Part 1 - The ‘Statement of Significance’ assesses the existing site condition both in terms of the cultural significance of the tangible physical remains and intangible socio-cultural values identified within the study area.

  • CB(1)1051/15-16(04) Recommendation of Lugard Road As Pilot Site for the “Point-Line-Plane” Approach in Conservation
    CB(1)1051/15-16(04) Recommendation of Lugard Road as Pilot Site For the “Point-Line-Plane” Approach in Conservation 1. Introduction In 2014, the Antiquities Advisory Board (AAB) completed the policy review on the conservation of built heritage and recommended that the government examine the feasibility of conserving and protecting selected building cluster(s) of unique heritage value under the “point-line-plan” approach. The Administration later accepted the recommendations and announced its plan to carry out a pilot study on the “point-line-plane” approach for conservation. However the Report on the Policy Review on Conservation of Built Heritage compiled by AAB indicates that there was no suggested area or district that clearly stood out as suitable for the implementation of the “point-line-plane” approach. Therefore it is the aim of the present paper to suggest an area of heritage significance for the Administration to consider as a possible site to conduct the pilot study on the "point-line-plane" approach for conservation. This paper will outline the importance of Lugard Road in Hong Kong’s heritage environment and its unique cultural characteristics that make it a suitable site for conducting the pilot study on the “point-line-plane” approach for conservation.. 2. The "Point-Line-Plane" Approach in Heritage Conservation The "Point-Line-Plane" approach looks at individual buildings as points, buildings along a street as lines and collections of streets as planes. It calls for the extension of the scope of conservation beyond an individual building and consideration to the wider urban or rural setting with distinctive features.

    Actividad 2 Diseño de un itinerario turístico Asignatura: Instrumentos de organización y gestión del turismo Profesor: Daniel Imbert-Bouchard Ribera Alumna: Jiayu Chen Introducción Las rutas de camino o de bicicleta están cada días mas populares, con este motivo, yo también quiero crear una nueva ruta en mi país en la web 2.0, como no funciona Google en China, por eso, elijo Hong Kong, la ciudad mas moderna del mundo a realizar este objeto. En las paginas siguientes, voy a explicar por qué elijo esta zona, y cómo es esta ruta. 1. Breve introducción la zona elegida Hong Kong, una de las ciudades mas modernas de todo el mundo, tiene un nivel turístico muy alto. Pero como una ciudad tan moderno, la mayoría de sus atractivos son urbanos, como Disneyland, Ocean Park, Shopping Taxfree, Puerto Victoria y las comidas tradicionales y etc.. Cuando viajan a Hong Kong, los turistas siempre van a visitar los atractivos como así. He viajado 2 veces a Hong Kong, me parece que es una ciudad con un ritmo muy rápido, la gente siempre está muy ocupada, y los turistas también, solamente visitan a los atractivos tradicionales o shopping, en vez de caminar despacio a descubrir la bella de esta ciudad. Por eso, he perdido una ayuda de mi amiga de Hong Kong, y ella me lo ofrece esta propuesta. Victoria Peak es una montaña pequeña situada en el oeste de Hong Kong, es una de las zonas mas altas de Hong Kong. En su norte es el centro comercial mas importante de todo el Hong Kong, y el puerto mas famoso, El Puerto Victoria.

  • Historic Building Appraisals of the 8 New Items
    N186 Historic Building Appraisal Entrance Gate, Enclosing Walls and Shrine Yan Shau Wai, San Tin, Yuen Long, N.T. Yan Shau Wai (仁壽圍) in San Tin (新田) is a walled village established by the Historical Mans. They are the descendants of Man Tin-shui (文天瑞), a brother of Man Interest Tin-cheung (文天祥) who was a renowned patriot fighting against the Mongols to protect the Song emperors in the late Southern Song (南宋,1127-1279) dynasty. Man Sai-gor (文世歌, 1390 – 1457) moved from Tuen Mun (屯門) to San Tin in the Ming (明, 1368 – 1644) dynasty, and is regarded as the founding ancestor (開基祖) of the Man clan there. Yan Shau Wai is the first village established by the Mans in San Tin having a history of about 600 years, i.e. established around the fifteenth century. In order to protect the villagers against banditry and piracy, the settlement of Yan Shau Wai was enclosed by an entrance gate, walls and watchtowers at the corners. Within the walls were closely-packed row houses with lanes in between. As time passed, the lineage grew in size and their settlements expanded to include Tung Chan Wai (東鎮 圍), Shek Wu Wai (石湖圍), Fan Tin Tsuen (蕃田村), Wing Ping Tsuen (永平村), On Lung Tsuen (安龍村), Tsing Lung Tsuen (青龍村), San Lung Tsuen (新龍村) and Chau Tau Tsuen (洲頭村) as well. They, together with Yan Shau Wai, were collectively known as three wai (三圍, literally three walled villages) and six tsuen (六村, literally six villages). According to the village elders, since their defensive power had been greatly enhanced due to the growth of the clan in size, the other Man’s villages were not built with entrance gates, enclosing walls and watchtowers like Yan Shau Wai.

  • Historical Appraisal
    Serial No.: N18 Historic Building Appraisal No. 27 Lugard Road The Peak, H.K. Many roads in Hong Kong recall former governors, colonial secretaries Historical and commanding generals and this road on the Peak, constructed in the early Interest 20th century and named after Sir Frederick Lugard (governor from 1907-1912) is an example. The Peak (Victoria Peak) towers over Central district on Hong Kong Island, attracting locals and visitors with cool breezes and stunning views over the harbour. Many aspired to live here, deterred only by lofty prices and the blanket of fog. With the construction of the Peak Tram in 1888, more people moved there to live. The house in No. 27 Lugard Road was initially associated with a family of architects from England, surnamed Bird, who started living in Hong Kong from 1904. Constructed in 1914 when the first section of Lugard Road was completed1, No. 27 Lugard Road was first owned by Herbert William Bird (born in 1872), who bought the land at a price of $2,160 on 27 July 1914 in public auction. H. W. Bird was a partner of the architectural practice, Palmer & Bird – now Palmer & Turner (still a prominent architectural firm to this day). H.W. Bird was also a public figure. He was a director and the chairman of the Shek O Country Club (石澳鄉村俱樂部), the president of the Royal Society of St. George (聖喬治皇家學會), and vice-presidents of the Hong Kong Club (香 港會所) and the Hong Kong Philharmonic Society in the 1920s. He was also a non-official Justice of the Peace from 1904 to 1926, a juror on the List of Jurors from 1905 to 1924 and an Unofficial Member of the Legislative Council from 1921 to 1927.
