    N337 Historic Building Appraisal Entrance Gate San Wai, Ha Tsuen, Yuen Long, New Territories The entrance gate of San Wai (新圍), which literally means “new Historical walled village”,1 is situated in a local district known as Ha Tsuen (廈村) or Interest Ha Tsuen Heung (廈村鄉).2 Ha Tsuen was founded by two brothers, Tang Hung-chi (鄧洪贄) and Tang Hung-wai (鄧洪惠), both ninth generation members of the Ng Yuen Tso (五元祖) of the Tang (鄧) clan.3 As one of the oldest villages in Ha Tsuen, San Wai has a history of more than 250 years. It was established by Tang Tso-tai (鄧作泰, 1695 – 1756), an eighteenth generation member of the Ng Yuen Tso, and Tang Wai-yuk (鄧為玉, 1715 – 1755), a generation younger than Tso-tai. The village’s name “新圍” in Chinese and “San Wai” in English can be identified from a government report of 1899 and a land record of the then colonial government dating from 1905 to 1907. Regarding its layout, San Wai is composed of rows of houses, with an entrance gate. It is believed that the entrance gate was originally situated on the central axis of the village. As the village expanded, this central axis gradually lost its significance, and the view from the entrance gate was eventually blocked by rows of houses. A map dated 1917, which is the earliest record of its kind identified, shows that by that time two rows of houses had been built in front of the entrance gate.4 Interestingly, no shrine was built within San Wai, as villagers believe that the village is “protected” by the Earth God shrine near the Yeung Hau Temple (楊侯古廟), which is locally known as Sai Tau Miu (西頭廟, western temple).

    Appendix 13.2

    Expansion of Hong Kong International Airport into a Three-Runway System Environmental Impact Assessment Report Appendix 13.2 Population Biology of the Hong Kong/Pearl River Estuary Population of the Chinese White Dolphin ( Sousa chinensis ): Literature Review 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. There are sixteen confirmed cetacean species in Hong Kong waters (Jefferson & Hung, 2007) and in March 2009, a Humpback whale was also reported in Hong Kong, which increased the number of recorded species to 17. There have also been two unconfirmed additional species, both baleen whales, in Hong Kong waters. 1.2. Although other cetaceans, including the Bottlenose Dolphin and False Killer Whale, have been previously noted in Hong Kong waters, these sightings are likely to be transient or extralimital records and only two species of cetaceans, the Chinese White Dolphin (CWD) or Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphin ( Sousa chinensis ) and the Indo-Pacific Finless Porpoise ( Neophocaena phocaenoides ) are resident. 1.3. There appears to be only a limited overlap in the distribution of the CWD and Finless Porpoise in local Hong Kong waters, as the CWD tends to be predominantly distributed in the western waters, whereas the Finless Porpoise is usually recorded in areas further to the south and east of Hong Kong. The southwestern coast of Lantau around Fan Lau and the Soko Islands represent the only areas in Hong Kong where both species are commonly seen (Parsons et al ., 1995; Jefferson, 2000; Jefferson et al ., 2002). 1.4. As such, only the CWD has been consistently reported within the proposed study area of the extension of the existing Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) and the third runway (3RS Project), comprising the area from Tuen Mun to the southwest of the existing airport platform.

    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. The Peak, being a “must-see” attraction to our visitors, has also been identified for improvement under the Programme. 1 Projects implemented under this Programme include the improvement works in Sai Kung and Lei Yue Mun waterfront which were completed in 2003; the Central and Western District Enhancement Scheme which is targeted for completion in 2005; the Stanley Waterfront Improvement Project and the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade Beautification Scheme, both of which have commenced in August 2004. - 2 - 5. In 2002, the Hong Kong Tourism Board conducted a consultancy study on “Improvement and Further Development of the Peak as a Visitor Attraction” which recommended, inter alia, the “Victorian” theme be adopted for the enhancement works at the Peak.

  • A Relational Geography of Heritage in Post-1997 Hong Kong

    A Relational Geography of Heritage in Post-1997 Hong Kong

    A RELATIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF HERITAGE IN POST-1997 HONG KONG by Lachlan Barber B.A., The University of King’s College, 2004 M.A., The University of British Columbia, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) July 2014 © Lachlan Barber, 2014 Abstract The central question of this dissertation is: what can Hong Kong teach us about the geography of heritage? The study considers the discursive transformation of cultural heritage as a feature of Hong Kong’s transition since the 1997 retrocession to Chinese sovereignty. Specifically, it traces the contradictory growth of interest in heritage as an urban amenity on the part of the government, and its simultaneous framing as a socio-political critique of neoliberal governance on the part of actors in civil society. The study analyses these dynamics from a perspective attentive to the relationships – forged through various forms of mobility and comparison – between Hong Kong and other places including mainland China, Great Britain, and urban competitors. The project relies on data gathered through English-language research conducted over a period of two and a half years. Sixty in-depth interviews were carried out with experts, activists, professionals and politicians in Hong Kong. Extensive surveys of government documents, the print and online media, and archival materials were undertaken. Other methods employed include site visits and participant observation. The methodology was oriented around the analysis of processes of heritage policy and contestation over a number of sites in Central, Hong Kong and surrounding districts where contradictory visions of the meaning of heritage have played out materially.
