Theme All Roads lead to Hong Kong: To understand the people’s livelihood and economic development from the perspective of city infrastructure Hong Kong is a small place, but it processes all the necessities for living. Though it is densely populated, Hong Kong has a well-developed and efficient transportation system with the railways, ferries, buses, minibuses and trams, making up a beautiful street scene of Hong Kong. And the city infrastructure like highways, bridges, tunnels, piers and airport have been carrying the collective dreams of Hong Kong people of travelling around the world from generation to generation. Hong Kong’s skyline has created a world-famous night scene, while enabling Hong Kong to gradually step onto the world theatre from a tiny fishing village. Through investigation and research, collection of historical stories, images, archives and the information of Hong Kong’s architecture, infrastructure, and transportation, students will learn more about the historical development of our city.
