Hong Kong revives border village in alternative tourism push

Walking tours in Hong Kong are bringing visitors to the city's historic closed border zone with China, offering a glimpse into the past and reviving a nearly-abandoned village that was once home to Hakka people from southern China.

On a recent January weekend, tourists thronged to Kuk Po village's picturesque sights, surrounded on three sides by gentle valleys.

"This side of Hong Kong is something that I never imagined," Singaporean exchange student Kevin Choy, 24, told AFP.
