Hi, Chuen Lung

Speaking of Chuen Lung, hikers may immediately think of Tai Mo Shan, watercress and restaurants with all kinds of delicious dim sum. Some may like to start their journey from Chuen Lung and walk to Tai Mo Shan (the highest hill in Hong Kong) while others begin their walk from Yuen Long, pass through Ng Tung Chai, and walk down from Tai Mo Shan to Chuen Lung for dim sum. An exhibition “HI!HILL!” has been curated in Chuen Lung recently. This art project is a collaboration with local residents to showcase their memories and traditions.
