About the Trail

Tourism Commission, in collaboration with Central and Western District Council and Leisure and Cultural Services Department, undertook the revitalisation of the Dr Sun Yat-sen Historical Trail. Under the theme of “art across time”, nine local artists were engaged to redesign the plaques with their idiosyncratic visual lingo to showcase the rich historical and cultural characteristic of Hong Kong. You are invited to go for a walk on the Dr Sun Yat-sen Historical Trail to trace the footprints with 16 spots, including attractions relating to Dr Sun’s education in Hong Kong and the schools he attended, the places he lived and the venues where he entered into heated discussions of national affairs with his friends, sites where revolutionary activities were held by Dr Sun and other revolutionaries before the Republic of China was founded as well as displays of Hong Kong in the time of Dr Sun.
