A short business trip allowed a half-day to discover Hong Kong’s past. I found the heritage area of Lung Yeuk Tau, an area with with walled compounds dating back to the Song Dynasty. People still live there, and now that area is a reflection of what Hong Kong has always been – a perfect juxtaposing between the past and the present. To get there, take the MTR to Fanling. Exit C and head to the mini-bus stand to take Bus 54k. Tell the driver to alight you at Shuang Him Tong Church. The heritage trail starts there. It goes on for almost 3 km.
