“Exploring Burma to Myanmar”

Wong How Man

2/F Olympic House, So Kong Po, Causeway Bay
Drinks Reception 6.30 pm; Lecture 7.30 pm
We are delighted to welcome again Wong How Man, China’s greatest explorer and one of our most popular lecturers, to speak on this occasion on his exciting expeditions to Burma: “Exploring Burma to Myanmar - a country at the threshold of change?”
Over ten years ago, Wong How Man took a short and stealthy exploration trip into Burma/Myanmar through the backdoor border of China’s southwest Yunnan Province. He visited a distant Lisu village with its make-shift church. Mr Wong turned back shortly after seeing teenage kids of the independent Kachin army waving their AK-47s at his party.
