The Commissioner for Heritage’s Office (CHO) of the Development Bureau will launch the Heritage Fiesta cum Roving Exhibition 2023 from October 1 to November 31. In order to highlight heritage venues on a wider scale, this event will be held across 10 declared monuments and graded historic buildings that are related to greening and landscape.

The 10 venues are the Cattle Depot Artist Village, which used to be the Ma Tau Kok Animal Quarantine Depot; the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware; Green Hub, which is the Old Tai Po Police Station; the Health Education Exhibition and Resource Centre and the Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre, which are both old blocks in the Former Whitfield Barracks; the Lady Ho Tung Welfare Centre Eco-Learn Institute; blocks 7, 10, and 25 of Lei Yue Mun Park, formerly the old Lei Yue Mun Barracks; the HKFYG Leadership Institute, which is the former Fanling Magistracy; the Pokfulam Farm, which used to be the senior staff quarters of the old Dairy Farm; and the Woodside Biodiversity Education Centre.

Free guided tours will be available at the above venues on a first-come, first-served basis. The accompanying roving exhibition – running until December 20 – will be making its rounds at Immigration Tower, Citywalk 2, and various public libraries. Check out the CHO website for event details and schedules.
