Curating Smithfield/Guided Tour

Smithfield is an artery of Kennedy Town stretching from Victoria Harbour to Mount Davis, a reach out to the blue-green assets of Hong Kong in a glimpse. Through this Code Map, we cordially invite you to appreciate the unique characteristics and beauty of Smithfield which embraces interesting stories of urban evolution: From a riverine area in the remote west end of Hong Kong Island to a reclaimed land at “Lap Sap Wan” (Rubbish Bay) in the 1880s. Then, from a remote area in the bygone Victoria City packed with NIMBY (not-in-my-background) facilities (e.g. cattle depot, slaughterhouse, plague hospital compound) to a thriving residential neighbourhood comprising both old and new developments, foodies and art communities. Smithfield has transformed from city fringe to a muse filled with hopes and charm.
