Abstract

Tourism is often described as an encounter between foreigners and locals, but in this transnational world such a polarization is too simple. This paper describes the contested struggle for meaning and interests of four different parties involved in a Heritage Trail. First is the government which constructed the site; second, the agency trying to attract international tourists to the exotic East and “old China” as part of the Hong Kong image; third, local organizations bringing domestic tourists to rediscover aspects of their own culture and identity; and fourth, the site's owners fighting the government to re-establish the sacred harmony of their landscape.
