Summary
In the early 1930s, the South China Morning Post published playful letters debating the establishment of a nude culture association and reported the formation of a nudist club in Hong Kong, with plans for open-air activities near Sha Tin. The controversial nudism movement in the area faced new activity in 1933, drawing attention for preventing unauthorized entry and causing a shock to a couple who encountered a nudist in the valley.
