The dark side walking tour was okay. There really wasn’t that much too it- not any depth of knowledge about Hing Kong and its dark side.

You are shown an example of a caged home, but are not touring through those occupied, like a zoo. The guide packs in a lot data, information, and reasons for the situation to give you an overall picture of the problem. Take notes if you really want to retain the information and understand the dilemma from all sides. They sell a great photo book by Benny Lam, in the small NGO, that doesn't seem to be available anywhere else.

I sort of have an idea of what I'm going to see and hear by reading some reviews, and I was sure the content will be something I'm interested to learn.
Many thanks to our guide Issac who keeps these knowledge and figures in head and was very good at story telling, the actual content turned out to be more educational and thought-provoking than expected.
As much as how it's difficult to put into words, I somewhat hope I could recall how I felt during the tour while live on.
If you care about society issue and are interested to explore deeper side of Hong Kong city, it'll for sure add depth to your journey.
