Free Exhibit
Sing Tao News Corp is holding a three-week exhibition at
Central Market, allowing the public to revisit key moments in the SAR's
post-handover history through reprints from the archives of Sing Tao Daily and
virtual reality. The exhibition explores four themes: the beginning of the
handover, ongoing prosperity, a fresh start as well as integration between Hong
Kong and the mainland.
Visitors can try out the virtual reality headsets, which
will allow them to peruse pictures and videos charting the parallel
transformations of Hong Kong and the company over the past eight decades.
There is also a photography area where visitors are invited
to stand in front of a green screen, on which pictures of iconic monuments such
as the Lai Chi Kok Amusement Park and the Kowloon Walled City will be keyed in
later on. A printed version of the photo will be available for those who post
the picture on Instagram accompanied with the exhibition's hashtag.
