Hong Kong not only has a pivotal role in international context, but it is also a city with unique culture and rich history which deserves to be savoured and explored. However rapid the “Pearl of the East” has changed, it is left with many anecdotes which hold clues to its past. How much do you know about these Hong Kong stories?
The I·CARE Hong Kong Cultural Tours Project of this academic year is now recruiting members. Admitted students will first receive a series of professional training on content research, itinerary design and formulation, story-telling skills, and tour guiding techniques.
