2015-11 RTHK's Hong Kong Heritage - Harlech & Hatton Roads

Join us for a walk along Harlech and Hatton Roads, chatting about their history. Here's the link to listen to the show: http://podcast.rthk.hk/podcast/item_epi.php?pid=164&lang=en-US&id=63273

I'll include links to more information and photos below, with the time as it is shown on the podcast player. You can click on any photo to see a larger view and more information about the scene.

Thanks to Annemarie for inviting me on to her weekly show, Hong Kong Heritage.

Regards, David
