Ever since the opening up of its port, Hong Kong has been a hub of trade between foreign countries and Mainland China, where foreign merchants and firms have developed their businesses and built a substantial number of residential premises, industrial and commercial buildings, club houses and religious places, bringing in western-style architecture.

With the lapse of time, new buildings were erected and many old ones were demolished or altered. Fortunately, some historic buildings have been well-preserved and are still standing. Some of them were even endowed with a new life by being adapted for new uses during preservation. In this talk, the speaker will tell stories about the preservation and revitalisation of these historic buildings.
