Year of Heritage set to get off to flying start
The community has nowadays attached much greater importance to the preservation of cultural relics than it was 20 years ago, the Chairman of the Antiquities Advisory Board (AAB), Professor David Lung, said today (Thursday).
He said that since the establishment of the Board in 1976, it had made every endeavour in the preservation of the territory's culture and history.
"It is essential that this effort be sustained so that the message of heritage preservation could be further driven home," he stressed.
Speaking at a press conference to announce details of the "Year of Heritage", Professor Lung noted that Hong Kong had 6,000 years of heritage ranging from archaeological sites containing pottery and stone implements of the prehistoric era to the splendid traditional buildings of Chinese and Western styles of more recent times.
