Hi, I’m Alan, and I have the privilege of being born and raised in Tseung Kwan O, a district in Hong Kong that holds a special place in my heart. Growing up in this vibrant, ever-evolving community, I’ve experienced firsthand the many layers that make Tseung Kwan O such a unique blend of old traditions and modern development.
From its days as a quiet fishing village to becoming one of the city’s most rapidly developing new towns, Tseung Kwan O has been my home throughout its transformation, and I’m excited to share my journey and insights with you. As a long-time resident, I’ve watched the area change with the growth of new developments, public spaces, and increased connectivity.
What was once a relatively quiet corner of Hong Kong, known for its scenic coastal views and peaceful atmosphere, has now become a dynamic, bustling district that offers a unique mix of urban living with access to nature. This transformation has brought a lot of opportunities to the area, but it’s also provided me with a deep appreciation for how much can change while still retaining the heart and soul of a place.
Tseung Kwan O is not just my hometown, it is rich with personal memories and experiences. From my childhood days fishing along the shorelines and exploring the quiet alleys of the older villages to today, where I often find myself cycling along the waterfront or hiking in the hills surrounding the district, my connection to the area runs deep.
I’ve seen this place grow from a small community into a vibrant hub, yet at its core, it has maintained the charm and simplicity of its past. Whether visiting one of the many local eateries serving Hong Kong-style comfort food or taking a peaceful walk along the Tseung Kwan O Waterfront Park, I’ve always found something familiar that keeps me grounded in this ever-changing landscape.
