| Description: | During the pre-war period, North Point and Tsat Tsz Mui were two distinct areas. North Point was merely a rural area where there were only a power plant and an oil tank. After the war, it underwent large scale development and has become a residential area. Tsat Tsz Mui, a place with a mysterious story, nurtured a winning female swimmer in the National Games and pioneered the beauty contest in Hong Kong. Refugee camps and prisoner-of-war camps were also situated along the waterfront. Like Four Wan and Nine Yeuk (officially known as the City of Victoria), it is worthwhile to revisit the stories of North Point. |

| Description: | In the early hours on 6 July 1998, a ceremony was held on the air traffic control tower to turn off the runway lights at Kai Tak Airport after the last flight had taken off. Kai Tak officially completed its historic mission after some 70 years’ service and eventually retired into history. If you have been to Kai Tak Airport before, whether to depart, arrive, transit, transfer, greet or bid farewell, you certainly will not forget its passenger terminal, aircraft apron, 13/31 runway and so forth. You are cordially invited to this subject talk “Kai Tak – An Old Neighbor” to learn about the unknown stories of Kai Tak Airport, such as the misunderstanding in the naming of Kai Tak, the pre-existence of San Po Kong and “the street of landing” (officially known as Tseuk Luk Street). |
