Many travelers began to explore the possibility of visiting Hong Kong locally as early as the 1950s and 1960s, and many travel guide maps were published. This 1968 Hong Kong Island Tour Guide, which combines Chinese and Western map techniques, was drawn by Lai Man-fei, a famous traveler and founder of "Haiguang" magazine. Not only can you see many classic scenic spots on the map, such as Stanley, Repulse Bay, the Peak and the Water The pond, etc., and some of the missing landmarks include the White Tower of Haw Par Villa, Taikoo Dockyard and Sugar Factory, Central Uni-President and Wan Chai To Lao Chi Ferry Pier. In addition to briefly explaining the characteristics of each scenic spot in handwriting, the author also refill a lot of practical information: bus lines, Victoria Harbor ferry routes, and even the best time and location to visit the scenic spots, as well as Hong Kong's population, area, climate, and transportation at that time , land use patterns, industry, agriculture and mining, etc., giving people a general understanding of Hong Kong society decades ago.
