Travelling in Maps: Exploring Tourist Asia (1890 - 1950) - Guided Tours

Curious about how Asia was explored by leisure travelers nearly a century ago? How did they travel, by boat or aircraft? Have you ever heard of airships? Come explore our exhibition at the KPS Gallery, 1/F Library, through a 30-minute guided tour led by fellow HKUST students!

Our student docents, trained by the exhibition's curator, will walk you through a curated selection of maps from across Asia, unpacking the stories behind them, from how the wealthy spent their leisure time in 1938 Hong Kong to early aviation routes from Paris to Saigon, today's Ho Chi Minh City. Tour seats are limited. Register now!
