There are various types of historic buildings in Hong Kong, of both Chinese and Western styles. These historic buildings and sites reflect our cultural identity and mark the continuation of our traditions. They are also living history, closely related to our daily lives. The "Virtual Heritage Explorer" project provides 360-degree cubical panorama for about 60 historic buildings and sites. You can explore the real-like monuments through this website, http://vhe.lcsd.gov.hk/vhe or the kiosk at the Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre. It is hoped that this project will arouse public's understanding of and interest in local heritage.
