About this audio guide
Sky Terrace 428 sits atop Victoria Peak in Hong Kong, and this guide starts not with the view but with the 1904 colonial ordinance that made living on these upper slopes illegal for Chinese residents. It follows the sedan-chair porters who carried European families up the hill, and Sir Robert Ho-Tung, the one resident colonial rules made an exception for. Listen for when the barriers on the Peak finally came down.
