Travel & Leisure Southeast Asia Presents: A New Factory Town
This event has passed
Mar 16
Peter Hessler, author of the critically acclaimed River Town which won the Kiriyama Prize, returns with his latest book: Country Driving. In conversation with fellow travel writer Claire Scobie, author of Last Seen in Lhasa, he shares insights about changes in China. Having repeatedly visited Lishui, a growing factory town in Zhejiang province, he watched the city change with the building of a new highway linking the town to the coast. Witness to the complicated relationships between management and labour, he shares how the people responded to the environment of a new factory town. Part of the Man Hong Kong Literary Festival
