Duddell Street Steps and Gas Lamps were declared a monument in 1979. When Super Typhoon Mangkhut hit Hong Kong on 16 September 2018, the monument suffered heavy damage.
The project team was determined to adhere strictly to the conservation principle of using original craftsmanship and materials, supplemented by advanced 3D scanning technology, to restore the monument faithfully.
Join us in conversation with the project team to uncover the craftsmanship of the monument and its meticulous restoration.
