Character-Led Tour: "Under One Roof"
Go on an immersive journey through the history of Chinatown, as seen through the eyes of residents’ ages past.
Each experience is told through the point-of-view of a “former resident” – a hardworking coolie, a resilient ‘samsui’ woman, or a skilled hawker. Venture through the spaces they once inhabited and communities they thrived in, and hear their stories of struggles, triumphs, and everything in between.
These characters offer a unique and personal glimpse of Chinatown, and how their varied lives intertwined – “Under One Roof”.
