內容簡介
早於19世紀末期，輪船及火車成為更普遍的交通工具，遠東旅行變得越來越受歡迎，對英國統治的香港感興趣的西方旅行人士亦增加不少，在這段時期出版的旅遊指南書籍，如《香港指南》（1893）、《風景如畫的香港》（1925）等提供了非常實用的旅行資訊，滿足了來自西方旅者的需求。
以香港為主題的旅遊書籍是西方旅者對香港面貎的珍貴紀錄外，亦可讓我們了解香港如何成為遠東主要旅行目的地之一。講者試從一些旅遊指南的例子，介紹香港戰前的旅行活動及其反映的社會面貌。
講者簡介﹕
阮志，香港中文大學歷史博士，多年來對香港歷史、文物及民俗文化進行深入研究，著有《從荒岩到東方之珠：形塑香港的旅行文化史》、《禁區：夾縫中的沙頭角》、《入境問禁：香港邊境禁區史》等，近年從傳教士訪港的旅行記述作為切入點，集中研究旅遊這段快將湮沒的香港歷史環節。
Introduction:
As early as the
end of the 19th century, when steamships and trains became more common means of
transportation, travelling to the Far East became more and more popular, and
the number of Western travelers interested in British-ruled Hong Kong also
increased. Travel guidebooks published from
then onwards such as Hong Kong Guide (1893), Picturesque Hong Kong
(1925), etc. provided very practical travel information to meet the needs of
travelers.
Hong Kong-themed
travel books are not only valuable records of Western travelers about Hong
Kong, but also allow us to understand how Hong Kong has become one of the major
travel destinations in the Far East.
With the illustration of selected travel guidebooks, the speaker
attempts to introduce the early travel activities in Hong Kong and the social
outlook they reflected in the pre-war period.
Speaker’s
biography:
Yuen Chi, Ph.D.
in History from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, has conducted in-depth
research on the history, cultural heritage and popular culture of Hong Kong for
many years. His major publications in
recent years include From Barren Rock to Pearl of the Orient: A Cultural
History of Hong Kong Tourism, Closed Area : Sha Tau Kok in the Gap, Entry
Prohibition: The History of Hong Kong's Frontier Closed Areas, etc.. He recently focuses on the travel accounts of
missionaries visiting Hong Kong to study tourism which is a disappearing part
of Hong Kong's history.
