Hung Hom Heritage Tour
To kick-start our tenth anniversary celebrations, the HKHP collaborated with Walk in Hong Kong to launch a Hung Hom Heritage Tour series, with tours open to public taking place over four Saturdays within February and March. Hung Hom was chosen as our subject because of its historic link with HKHP - it is home to our headquarters and it is also the sites of CLP's first power station in Kowloon. In addition, the district was also the 'industrial stronghold' of Hong Kong and an important base of economic development, and has thus played a pivotal role in local history.
