Choi Yuen Village was at the heart of the one of the biggest social movement in recent decade in Hong Kong, anti-high-speed-rail movement of Hong Kong in 2009 to 2010. The residents and their supporters continue their action by sustaining their activities in the relocated new Choi Yuen Village which includes guided tours to reveal their actions as well as their way of life. The tour would help you to have a more indepth understanding of recent social movements in Hong Kong as well as the rural faces of this densely-developed city. The tour will take place on-site of new Choi Yuen Village at the North West New Territories which is about 25 km from the city centre. Villagers will offer their narration of the anti-HSR movement and to show their daily activities in “rural” Hong Kong. Authentic village dim-sum will be served.
