GE Off Campus: Yuen Long – Discovery Tour to South Asians Community 元朗 – 少數族裔發現之旅

Banner_YL

South Asians have been living in Hong Kong for over a century.
How well do you know about their living here?
Do you know there is a community in Yuen Long,
where you can find shops owned by Nepalese, Pakistani and Indian?


In this discovery tour, a Cultural Ambassador will bring you to explore the community of ethnic minorities in Yuen Long. You will know more about their lives, culture as well as difficulties in Hong Kong. We will discuss how we can help Hong Kong to be a multicultural society.
