As Hong Kong marks the 29th anniversary of its return to Chinese rule on July 1, the South China Morning Post talks to the city’s senior officials about the administration’s achievements so far and what may lie ahead.
Hong Kong will build on the popularity of the old Yau Ma Tei police station exhibition by developing more heritage attractions that combine historic buildings with cultural experiences, the tourism chief has said, identifying Haw Par Mansion as one of the city’s next major developments.
Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Rosanna Law Shuk-pui told the South China Morning Post in an interview that the Yau Ma Tei attraction had shown how Hong Kong could turn historic sites into visitor destinations by linking them to the city’s cultural identity.
“This project is actually uniquely Hong Kong,” she said. “It reflects a sort of legacy of Hong Kong’s past, an old police station.”
