Humen History and Heritage Tour

The History Department organized a one-day history and heritage tour, in which thirty-one S4 - S5 History students and two Tourism and Hospitality Studies students were led to Humen (Dongguan, China) on Dec 23.  The tour included visits to the Opium War Museum (鴉片戰爭博物館), Weiyuan Fort (威遠砲台), and Humen Lin Zexu Memorial Hall (虎門林則徐紀念館).  During the tour, students deepened their understanding of the First Opium War (also known as the First Anglo-Chinese War), particularly the events surrounding the ban on opium in the mid-19th century.  They also learned about the strategic skills and methods employed in the warfare under the leadership of Lin Zexu, the Imperial Commissioner of the Qing Dynasty at that time.
