    Heritage Conservation  
       
    In recent years, the people of Hong Kong have shown an increasing passion for the city s history and cultural heritage. In response, the Government has increased funding and support not only for conserving historic buildings, but also for revitalising them and putting them to good use. The Green Island Lighthouse Compound, declared a monument in 2008, is a good example. The old lighthouse (right) was built in 1875 while its newer companion, built in 1905, is still in use today.
