Ethnic Traces in Wanchai
About the Tour
This experience takes you through the district of Wanchai, renowned backdrop of the novel-turn movie ‘The World of Suzie Wong’. Traces of different ethnic communities constitute the development of this historic and down-to-earth neighbourhood, in which I grew up.
Discover & understand the district as never before!
