Seeing in the dark: Hong Kong Harbour and Lighthouses 夜航明燈 香港港口與燈塔

Lighthouses have been – and still are – crucial beacons for seafarers. Constructed for safety purposes, they also function as indicators of human
presence, potentially even of safe homecoming for these very seafarers. Stories related to lighthouses seem to resonate well with large and diverse
audiences. We recently experienced the popularity of this topic through exhibitions and seminars, co–organised with faculty of various departments
of City University of Hong Kong (CityU). 
燈塔是為了海上航行安全而建造，是船員航海的指路明燈，是人類活動跡證，甚而是海員得以平安返家的指引。燈塔的故事總能引起社會大眾的共鳴，近期我們與香港城市大學（城大）各院系合辦一系列展覽和研討會中，也反映出香港大眾對燈塔古蹟保育的關注。
