Wan Chai.

The Blue House site was once home to Wah To Hospital, listed in the 1872 rate book, before the address became residential.

The Blue House cluster’s revitalisation retains residential use and hosts community cultural activity, placing daily life at the centre of heritage reuse.

AMO estimates that Wan Chai’s Hung Shing Temple dates to 1847–1852; today it stands amid a coastline transformed by reclamation.
