     The Tourism Commission today (June 5) extended the City in Time tourism project to Lei Yue Mun and upgraded its mobile app features simultaneously to enrich the experience of both locals and tourists.
            
     The Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, Mr Kevin Yeung, said, "With the concept of 'Tourism is everywhere in Hong Kong' the City in Time project allows locals and tourists to experience Hong Kong's past and present through its mobile app. The project covers designated locations in Central, the Peak, Tsim Sha Tsui, Sham Shui Po, Yau Ma Tei, Jordan and Lei Yue Mun. It will be extended to Tai Hang and Kowloon City later on, tying in with the new trend of city walks and in-depth travel, as well as enriching tourists' travelling experience through smart tourism."
            
     The City in Time mobile app features have already been upgraded, including adding filters and video recordings to the selfie function and advancing the animation of the historical panoramas to 3D. In addition, the City in Time initiative has also incorporated film elements at its existing designated locations, allowing locals and tourists to watch classic Hong Kong film clips at filming locations.

     Commissioned by the Tourism Commission, the City in Time tourism project was developed and produced by the School of Creative Media of the City University of Hong Kong. The mobile app is available for free downloading at the Apple App Store and Google Play. Locals and tourists can also embark on virtual journeys and find out more on the City in Time website (cityintime.hk).
