Hong Kong shot from barren
island to mercantile anthill so fast that it hardly had time to reflect on the
process. The former British colony's 1999 resorption into China provided a
chance to take stock. One result: the newly opened Heritage Museum, in Sha Tin,
New Territories, where residents are likely to find as many surprises as visitors
will. Opening exhibitions look at banqueting customs, comic books and humour,
Cantonese opera, and the tiny territory's (literally) highest priority: housing.
