“Heritage Fiesta cum Roving Exhibition 2025” to launch in October A spokesman for the CHO said today (September 9), “The Tung Wah Coffin Home and the University Hall of the University of Hong Kong (with its exterior being a declared monument), which is now a student residence, are usually not open to the public. This rare chance to visit should not be missed. To complement the event, the University Hall will also host open days on October 4 and 5. The Western District Community Centre (Main Building of Old Tsan Yuk Maternity Hospital), which was supported by the Antiquities Advisory Board to be declared a monument in March this year, will participate in the Heritage Fiesta for the first time. The courtroom of the Former Fanling Magistracy (currently the HKFYG Leadership Institute) has been featured in a number of movies.”
