The Keying II, built to commemorate a Chinese junk that sailed from Hong Kong to London in 1848, rides at her mooring during the first Hong Kong in London Festival in September. Timed to coincide with the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, the two-day event attracted an estimated 750,000 visitors to London's Battersea Park and was overwhelmingly successful in

achieving its aim of giving people in Britain an authentic taste of Hong Kong's cultural heritage.

Section Cover: In the shadow of London's famous Big Ben, a northern lion symbolises the exotic spirit of the festival.
