Whenever I have to visit my son’s school in Causeway Bay (near the Hong Kong Stadium) I always want to kick myself when I pass a particular landmark in this area without a camera (my phone camera just doesn’t do it for me).
I found myself in Tung Lo Wan Road yesterday but this time I was well-equipped. The reason? There is a particular visually stunning Episcopal Church called St. Mary’s on the corner of Tung Lo Wan Road that is built in the traditional Chinese style.
It has been categorised as a Grade 3 historical building by the Hong Kong Government and was built in 1937
When you approach the red-brick structure that is built on a rise, you will be forgiven for mistaking it for a Chinese temple. Until you see the Christian cross above the main entrance.
I took a couple of pictures:
