Wartime history and unexplained deity figures: the untold stories of Wah Fu Estate
On a Saturday afternoon, a vintage double-decker bus rolled into Hong Kong’s Wah Fu Estate, dubbed the “luxury residence for ordinary people”, piquing the curiosity of residents.
The beige and red Leyland Fleetline bus was carrying members of a walking tour organised by Henry Chai Man-hon, who served as the district councillor for the estate from 2004 to 2019, and community group Wah Fu Hub.
Chai, who started the walking tours last year, said that he wished to tell the stories of Wah Fu Estate and allow people to look into the lives of its residents.
He collaborated with artist Swing Lam Siu-wing this time and arranged the vintage bus, which once served on the now-defunct route 45 between Wah Fu and Robinson Road in Mid-Levels.
