Kowloon Tsai History Tour
2026-03-02

Kowloon Tsai’s history tour offers our senior students an engaging journey through local change. Guided walks reveal how Tai Hang Tung’s early squatter settlements expanded, then were reshaped after the catastrophic Shek Kip Mei fire in 1953. Students learn how the government’s emergency resettlement housing provided shelter for displaced families, marking the start of systematic public housing policy. The tour traces Kowloon Tsai’s evolution through redevelopment and social adaptation, culminating in the 1970s transformation into modern public housing estates. Through stories, photos, and site visits, students gain a clearer understanding of urban planning and the neighbourhood of Kowloon Tsai and Hong Kong’s postwar social history.
