Hong Kong Headquarters of the Xingzhonghui
13 Staunton Street
The Xingzhonghui (Revive China Society) was the revolutionary organisation founded by Dr Sun Yat-sen in Hawaii in 1894 with the aim of overthrowing the Qing government. The Hong Kong Headquarters was set up in February 1895 under the guise of Kuen Hang Club, at 13 Staunton Street with Wong Wing-sheung as its first president, and it then proceeded to plan and organise its first revolutionary attempt, the Guangzhou uprising.

The original location of Xingzhonghui’s Hong Kong headquarters used to be in disguise of the Kuen Hang Club. Its sign was hung on the front door. The work aims to reveal the true identity of Xingzhonghui, behind the “cover-up” of “Kuen Hang Club”.
