Abstract
Topped off by the SAR's biggest tensile structure, one of the oldest and best preserved Victorian fortifications in Hong Kong has been transformed into an accessible place of history soon to be invaded once again - this time, by tourists. Ralph Thomas finds out how the need to preserve was balanced with the need to interpret.
