Wa Ying College

Wa Ying College (also referred to as WYC, Chinese: 華英中學) is a secondary school in Hong Kong, located at 8 Sheung Wo Street, Homantin, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The school is managed by the Methodist Church, Hong Kong. History Wa Ying College was founded as Wa Ying Middle School (Chinese name 華英中學) by the Methodist Church in 1913 in Foshan of Guangdong, China. The school quickly established itself as one of the three most prestigious middle schools in pre-World War II southern China. During the War, the school relocated to Hong Kong in Tung Chung Fort, Tung Chung, Lantau Island and later moved to Shatin. It returned to Foshan after the War. In 1951, after the Chinese Communist Party came to power in mainland China, the Foshan-based Wa Ying Middle School was confiscated by the state owing to the People's Republic of China's atheist Communist ideology, under which religious organizations-run schools are not allowed to operate. The Foshan No.1 Middle School was formed after the authorities merged the former Wa Ying Middle School with the public run Foshan Middle School (佛山中學; pinyin Foshan Zhongxue) and sited at the former Wa Ying Middle School. In 1969, alumni of Wa Ying Middle School based in Hong Kong handed a proposal to the Chinese Methodist Church to re-establish the school in Hong Kong, then out of the People's Republic of China's control. The alumni pledged to raise funds to start the building project and entrusted the school to the Church as in the past. With less than 400 alumni, nearly $300,000 was raised. In addition to a loan of $250,000 and a subsidy of two million dollars granted from the Hong Kong Government, the dream of resuming the school came true. Construction work began at its present site at Ho Man Tin in 1970. In September 1971, named Wa Ying College in English while keeping the Chinese name of its Foshan predecessor, started with 18 teachers and 12 classes. The school gradually expanded to up to 31 classes by the 1983-84 academic year. The school campus has undergone a number of renovations over the years, with the most recent at the late 2005. The school joined the Voluntary Optimisation of Class Structure Scheme and reduced to 24 classes by the 2011-12 academic year. In 2021 there was a proposal for the Hong Kong Legislative Council to spend $470 million Hong Kong dollars on renovating the school, but the renovation was voted down. RTHK noted that Wun Chi-wa, the principal, opposed the 2019 Hong Kong Extradition Bill previously proposed in the Legco.

Wan Chai Sports Ground

Wan Chai Sports Ground (Chinese: 灣仔運動場) is a stadium in Wan Chai North, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong, with a seating capacity of 2,401. It is a government-run sports ground primarily used by local schools for sports days and other athletic activities. Situated by the Victoria Harbour, it is at a convenient location next to Hong Kong's Central business district, Wan Chai, and the shopping district of Causeway Bay. Features The sports ground has an eight-lane, 400 m, all-weather synthetic track with a natural turf infield catering for all track and field events. The measurements and markings of the track are of IAAF standards. The running track and jumping track use Conipur M full polyurethane synthetic material and are 13 mm and 20 mm thick respectively. Landing mattresses of 71 cm and 81 cm thick are provided for high jump and pole vault. Also, floodlighting of 450 lux is available. History Wan Chai Sports Ground opened in 1979 on reclaimed land. It was originally managed by the Urban Council, and formed the Wan Chai Reclamation Recreation Centre Stage I (stage II being the adjacent swimming pool and indoor games hall). In 1996, the sports ground was used to help accommodate a queue of nearly 60,000 people seeking British Dependent Territories citizenship at Immigration Tower prior to the cut-off date of 30 March 1996 ahead of the handover. Part of the north end of the grandstand was demolished as part of the Sha Tin to Central Link project. The railway tunnels will run under the sports ground. Protest area during MC6 The Wan Chai Sports Ground and the nearby Wan Chai Cargo Handling Basin were designated as protest zones for the Sixth Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization. The conference, abbreviated as MC6, was held in Hong Kong from 13 to 18 December 2005. Officials expressed concerns that the protesters might destroy the sports ground, which could force a large number of schools to abandon their plans for sporting activities. However, the protest organiser, the Hong Kong People's Alliance on WTO, was unhappy with a previous proposed location for demonstrations, Southorn Playground, which is blocked by highrises from the venue of the conference, the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. In the end, the number of protesters was smaller than expected and were sufficiently accommodated at the cargo handling basin. Hence, the sports ground was not used as a protest site. HKCEC Phase III Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre Phase III will be developed on land now occupied by the Wan Chai pier bus terminus and Wan Chai Sports Ground. Although the existing sports facilities will be demolished, the Trade Development Council (TDC) plans to build new sports facilities on top of the HKCEC Phase III structure to serve the public interest.

Whampoa station

Whampoa (Chinese: 黃埔; Jyutping: Wong4 bou3; Cantonese Yale: Wòhng bou) is the western terminus of the Kwun Tong line of the MTR in Hong Kong. It is located in Hung Hom, Kowloon City District within the developed area of Whampoa Garden immediately adjacent to the stern of The Whampoa, a symbol of identity for the area and its history. The station was named after Whampoa Garden, which was built on the former site of Whampoa Dockyard. History Whampoa station was constructed under the HK$856 million Kwun Tong Line Extension Contract 1002, which was awarded in 2011 to a joint venture comprising Hong Kong contractors Chun Wo and Hip Hing Construction. This contract covered both the station and the overrun tunnel beyond it. The two station concourses were constructed using the cut-and-cover method, while the platform tunnel in between was built using the drill-and-split method. The use of tunnel boring machines was not preferred due to the lack of staging space in the densely built-up area, while drill-and-blast was not used at Whampoa Station in response to local concerns regarding safety and noise. The station was originally due to open in 2015, but due to delays during the construction of the underground portion of the station, it opened on 23 October 2016. Station layout The station consists of a platform connecting two separate concourses and is entirely underground except for the entrances and ventilation shafts. The western concourse is located at the junction of Hung Hom Road and Tak Man Street while the eastern concourse is located along Tak On Street and is crossed by Shung King and Tak Ting Streets. Whampoa is the third station on the MTR network to have only one platform, as with the stations at Po Lam and Disneyland Resort; it is a terminal station with a single side platform. As the single track at Whampoa cannot accommodate all Kwun Tong line trains, during Monday to Friday peak hours (07:00 to 09:30, 16:30 to 19:00), Saturdays (07:15 to 20:00) as well as Sundays and public holidays (08:40 to 20:00), half of all Kwun Tong line trains terminate at the preceding Ho Man Tin station. As a result, trains serve Whampoa at four-minute intervals, twice as long as the other stations.
