The Taipingshan (TPS) District was the earliest district in Hong Kong which was reserved in the 1840's for the Chinese population to reside in. The neighbouring Sai Ying Pun District was developed a decade later. With the booming population, these districts quickly became overcrowded and with poor sanitation; bubonic plague first broke out in TPS in 1894.
In these two districts are many interesting relics of attempts to provide medical services to the community, including Traditional Chinese and Western medicine, as well as attempts at improving sanitation and public health. This trail has been designed to promote interest in Hong Kong’s unique and valuable medical heritage.
