About this audio guide
This guide to Lei Yue Mun in Hong Kong starts with a puzzle in the name, Carp Gate, for a village whose people were not fishermen at all. It follows the Hakka stonemasons and migrant workers from Canton who lived here, and the fishermen from Shau Kei Wan who tied up at the piers in the early nineteen-sixties. Best heard walking the waterfront, near the red Tin Hau temple.
