Hong Kong’s oysters once built underwater cities. Now, there’s a movement to bring them back.
What to expect
This free exhibition by environmental nonprofit The Nature Conservancy shines a spotlight on Hong Kong’s vanishing oyster reefs, which historically flourished in Deep Bay and around Lantau Island. These biodiverse ecosystems provided not just a habitat for marine life but also natural coastal defences and a vital part of local heritage, including centuries-old oyster farming practices still found in Lau Fau Shan.
Through interactive displays, VR experiences, and community-led restoration stories, Reviving Hong Kong’s Ocean Heritage reconnects us with a legacy that’s quietly slipping away.
Schedule
The exhibition goes from August 22 to September 4, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
Tickets
Admission is free and you don’t need to register in advance.
