Marymount Primary School

Marymount Primary School (Chinese: 瑪利曼小學) is a Catholic primary school located on Tai Hang Road, Happy Valley, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. The secondary school arm is Marymount Secondary School. History The school, originally known as Holy Spirit School, was founded by the Maryknoll Sisters, an American religious order, on 10 January 1927 in Hong Kong. Back then, the school was on Robinson Road in Central Mid-levels. There were only eight classes of students sharing four small classrooms. In the 1930s, the school moved to a slightly larger building in Caine Road. There were seven classrooms, but conditions were still cramped by today’s standards. By 1941, the school was offering a complete course leading to matriculation, and so was one of only a small handful of schools at that time which prepared girls for university. In 1941, Japanese forces invaded and occupied Hong Kong. The school was closed until 1948. When the school reopened, it was renamed Maryknoll School. As the school continued to expand, a new building with better facilities became necessary. In October 1957, the school moved to its present location on the wooded slopes at the top of Blue Pool Road, overlooking Happy Valley. At the same time, it was renamed Maryknoll Sisters’ School. Initially, the building housed both Secondary and Primary Sections, but in 1961 the Primary School was relocated to the premises at Tai Hang Road, directly above the secondary school. During the school year 1978–79, the Maryknoll Sisters handed over the sponsorship of the school to the Columban Sisters. In September 1983, the name of the school changed to Marymount Primary School, and discontinued accepting male students. The sponsorship of the school was transferred by the Columban Sisters to the Christian Life Community in 1998. In 2002, the school moved to 22 Cloud View Road, North Point and started operation of whole-day schooling. The old Tai Hang Road primary school was torn down and rebuilt. Marymount Primary School moved back to Tai Hang Road in September 2006. From 1921–1953 (excluding closure during WWII) From the original Holy Spirit school through the Maryknoll Sisters School; The Primary and secondary arms of these schools were mainly girls admissions. Certain few exceptions were made for a small number of boys at grades Kindergarten through form 2 only in Maryknoll Sisters Primary School. Form 3 and higher levels were only girl admissions. Presently as Marymount both MPS and its secondary arm, Marymount Secondary School(MSS), are schools for girls only.

Mayfair Gardens

Mayfair Gardens (Chinese: 美景花園) is the first private housing estate on Tsing Yi, Hong Kong. It was built by Sun Hung Kai Properties and established between 1982 and 1984. The estate is composed of eight residential buildings, namely Blocks 5 to 12. Estate information Number of blocks: 8 The phase that each block belongs to: Phase I: Block 6, Block 8, Block 10, Block 11, Block 12 Phase II: Block 5, Block 7, Block 9 Occupation Date: Phase I: 1982 Phase II: 1984 The total number of flat:1,912 The original plan of the estate includes block 1-4, however the location of those blocks is too close to the oil depot, so block 1-4 are not built. The original location for block 1-4 becomes the location of the park now, and the original location of the oil depot becomes the location of Rambler Crest today. Location The estate was built on the site of Sai Shan Village. To the east of the estate is Cheung Ching Estate and to the west IVE (Tsing Yi). The estate is surrounded by Sai Shan and Tsing Yi Peak to the north and west. Facilities Mayfair Garden has facilities including private clubs, swimming pool, park, car park, playground, basketball court, tennis court, etc. There is also a small shopping mall. The total area of the shopping mall is 69,490 square feet. The shops including 7-Eleven, Fairwood, 759 Store, Wellcome and restaurants providing different nations' cuisine. Withdrawal of development of Block 1, 2 and 3 Twelve blocks were originally proposed for the site. During the 1980s, there was a growing concern about the environmental safety of Tsing Yi Island. The proximity of Mobil oil depot to Mayfair Gardens triggered the protest of the islanders. The residents demanded a relocation of the depot to a more distant area. The depot remained unmoved, but the planned development of Blocks 1, 2 and 3, together with a bus terminus and a cinema, were forced to be withdrawn. Although the results of the protests were not what the campaigners desired at the time, this was one of the main examples of a civil protest movement in Hong Kong in the mid-1980s. Actions against the government were organised by residents and social workers. The movement encouraged greater participation in newly devised District Board and resulted in more public involvement in policy formulation. The area originally intended for Blocks 1-3 is now a basketball court, a tennis court and a playground, so the estate is open to Victoria Harbour despite the existence of the newly built Container Terminal 9 and Rambler Crest which partially blocks the sea view. The oil depot has since been relocated to the west shore of the island, separated from the residential population by the geographic barrier of Tsing Yi Peak. Access Following the partial withdrawal of the development, Sai Shan Road is the only road access to the housing estate. Its bus terminus is installed at the road. Most residents on the other hand use the footbridge entrance at Ching Hong Road. Anecdote There was an incident that a 12-year-old girl committed suicide because of the academic problem in 2008, therefore some people think that the estate is haunted. References
Mei Ho House

Mei Ho House (Chinese: 美荷樓), formerly part of Shek Kip Mei Estate, Hong Kong, is the last remaining example of a "Mark I" building in a single-block configuration. While the other buildings of the estate dating from the 1950s have been demolished, being replaced by new ones, Mei Ho House was chosen to be preserved and was reopened in 2013 as a youth hostel and heritage museum. History After a devastating fire in December 1953 that left thousands homeless, the colonial government built a 29-block resettlement estate on the site of the burnt-down shanties to house the homeless victims. Eight blocks (Blocks A to H), later renumbered as Blocks 10 through 13 and 35 through to 41, were constructed with the financial aid of the United Nations (Mei Ho House is Block H, later Block 41). These 7-storey blocks were constructed in the Bauhaus architectural style with an 'H' configuration consisting of 2 residential wings, with communal sanitary facilities linking them. During the Hong Kong 1956 riots, the building was used as one of the bases for the rioters. Preservation The building has been preserved as a record of Hong Kong's public housing development. It was listed as a Grade I historic building in 2005 and as a Grade II historic building in 2010. In 2008, it was part of the seven buildings of Batch I of the Hong Kong Government's Revitalising Historic Buildings Through Partnership Scheme. On 17 February 2009, the government declared that the building would be used by the Hong Kong Youth Hostels Association as "City Hostel". The capital cost of the project was estimated at HK$192.3 million. Estimated completion time was 2012. The hostel would also have an exhibition area with guided tour detailing the living environment of public housing units in the past. The renovation project received an Honourable Mention in the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation in 2015. Youth Hostel Mei Ho House Youth Hostel was open for business from 24 October 2013. A double room costs from HK$680 per night while a family room costs from HK$1,320. At the opening, Chief Secretary for Administration Carrie Lam described it as a "pioneering renovation project" for a public housing estate and "very meaningful."

Tandis que les autres bâtiments du domaine datant des années 1950 ont été démolis et remplacés par de nouveaux bâtiments, la maison Mei Ho a été choisie pour être préservée. Histoire Après un incendie dévastateur en décembre 1953, qui a laissé des milliers de personnes sans-abri, le gouvernement colonial a bâti un quartier de réinstallation de 29 immeubles sur le site des taudis incendiés pour héberger les victimes. Huit immeubles (Blocs A à H), numérotés par la suite en blocs 10 à 13 et 35 à 41, ont été construits avec l'aide financière des Nations unies (la maison Mei Ho était le bloc H, puis le bloc 41). Ces immeubles de 7 étages ont été construits dans une configuration "H" composée de 2 ailes résidentielles reliées par des sanitaires collectifs. Pendant les émeutes de 1956, le bâtiment a été utilisé comme l'une des bases des émeutiers. Préservation Ouverture L'auberge de jeunesse de la Maison Mei Ho a ouvert ses portes le jeudi 24 octobre 2013. Lors de l'ouverture, la secrétaire en chef de l'administration, Carrie Lam, a décrit ce projet comme un "projet de rénovation novateur" pour un lotissement public et "très significatif".

Temple of the Six Banyan Trees

The Temple of the Six Banyan Trees or Liurong Temple is a Buddhist temple in Guangzhou, China, originally built in AD 537. The temple's proximity to foreign consulates in Guangzhou has made it a regular destination for families participating in the international adoption of children from China. Typically families receive blessings for their newly adopted children at this temple in front of the statue of Guanyin. History The Baozhuangyan Temple was first constructed by the monk Tanyu under orders from Emperor Wu of the Liang in AD 537. It was constructed to house the relics of Cambodian Buddhist saints which had been brought to Panyu (modern Guangzhou). The temple was burned down and rebuilt during the Northern Song dynasty. Around the same time, Su Shi composed a poem "Six Banyans" (Liu Rong) in honor of a visit to the temple. It was since renamed in honor of the famous poem. The Flower Pagoda, the main structure of the temple, was built in 1097 and was named for its colorful exterior. The structure that had been there before had a square base, but the Flower Pagoda was designed with an octagonal one. It was rebuilt again in 1373 after another fire in the early Ming dynasty period and restored in 1900.
