First Student Heritage Festival to be held

The first territory-wide Student Heritage Festival will be held from March 11 to 24 with a series of events aims at promoting students' interest in cultural heritage.

It is hoped that students will be able to learn to appreciate the need and importance in preserving historic treasures by participating in the programme.

A major event in the festival will be an exhibition on the Lord Wilson Heritage Project Scheme displaying heritage projects carried out by 20 schools last year.

The free-for-all display will be staged at the Antiquities and Monument Office (AMO) of the Recreation and Culture Branch, 136 Nathan Road, Kowloon.

During the festival, there will also be demonstrations on traditional craftsmanship such as wood carving and wall painting.

Highlights of the festival include heritage tours to be organised for Primary Four to Form Seven students to visit the newly opened Kowloon Walled City Park where historic relics dating back to the Qing Dynasty are on display.

Other historic sites to be visited will be the Liu Man Shek Tong Ancestral Hall in Sheung Shui, Kun Lung Wai in Fanling and Tsang Tai Uk in Sha Tin.

For those who wish to flex their muscles and take an active part in the preservation of monuments, they can join the two grass cutting activities to be held at the Tai Fu Tai in San Tin and Kang Yung Study Hall in Sha Tau Kok on March 18 and 22 respectively.
