Central Market Lights

Hong Kong has reopened one of its oldest wet markets in August 2021 after 3 years of
construction, rehabilitation and preservation costing more than HK$500 million so far, but Katty Law,
a leading local conservationist has given it only a guarded welcome, taking issue with ‘gentrification’.

Dating from 1939, the Grade III historic building has retained only 13 out of the more than
200 original market stalls. Law said she thought the Central Market should have been a
“socially beneficial” project, instead of one for “profit maximisation.”

Deserted Most Haunted School

The 2-storey school is designed in a 'U' shape with the hall in the centre. The 2 wings are
classrooms and the open space in the middle is a basketball court. The primary school
was founded in 1931 and moved to the current site in 1974. It was then closed in 1998
due to insufficient enrollment and has been left deserted. There are lots of graffiti.
Part of the building has been entangled by tree roots.

Surrounded by many graves, the school has been selected by the National Geographic Channel
as one of Asia's 10 scariest places. There have been spooky rumours over the years - that the
headmistress, dressed in red, hung herself in the boys' toilet. It was also said that during
the Japanese occupation, massacres were carried out in the area, the bodies were buried in
the hillside and turned into a mass grave. It has been rented out for a movie set with
Some markings on the wall in 1950s style remaining.

Mural by Mon

Mon’s (@mondotooo) ’Overlapping and Merging Life’ on 10 Shin Hing Street in Central centres
on the theme of the ephemeral beauty of transition. Inspired by the abundance of nature in
Hong Kong and also in his hometown, the flora and fauna are perceived as a single, large
organism through their interconnectedness within the natural environment, representing
the fleeting yet beautiful nuances of the heart and a grand narrative, bringing the
greenery of the countryside to the bustling Hollywood Road.

Hong Kong Deploys Anti-riot Armoured Vehicle for July 1

An anti-riot, bullet-and-explosion-proof armoured vehicle, dubbed 'Saber-toothed tiger',
is patrolling Causeway Bay, Hong Kong around Time Square for at least 2 days, apparently
due to the "sensitive date" of July 1, the change of sovereignty of Hong Kong from UK to
China. At least 10 police vehicle and numerous policemen are also deployed in the area.

It attracted many people, including curious tourists, to take pictures.

This is not the first time. Similar arrangement were made on Chinese New Year; October 1
- China's national day; June 4, anniversary of the Beijing Tiananmen Massacre in 1989.

Is there an elevated threat of terrorist attack or an imminent riot? As the
government claims repeatedly that Hong Kong has already moved 'from chaos to rule',
is it necessary to have such disproportionate show of force? Will it scare off
tourists who might think that Hong Kong is a very dangerous place? Is it
spreading the image of a 'Good Hong Kong'?
