A review of the heritage preservation policy is in the works, says Secretary for Development Paul Chan Mo-po.文件倉 Writing in his blog, Chan said the Development Bureau is working with the Antiquities Advisory Board ahead of the review. The board has set up two working groups on policy and strategy, as well as held in-depth discussions at a technical level. ``The two groups have already held several meetings, and are meeting with stakeholders in different areas, including the Legislative Council, district councils, relevant professional bodies and interest groups, as well as the owners of historic buildings, to collect the views o存倉 different sectors.'' He hopes there will be a more in- depth exchange of communications in heritage conservation policy. ``The history of Hong Kong left everyone with a lot of historical buildings with uniqueness, and some were listed as declared monuments,'' he wrote. Chan mentioned many schools that have historical value all over Hong Kong. They include Bethanie in Pok Fu Lam Road, Diocesan Boys' School in Mong Kok, Hong Kong Adventist College in Sai Kung and study rooms in the New Territories, including some built to commemorate ancestors and others designed for students to prepare for ``imperial examinations.''
