Yucca de Lac and The Chinese University of Hong Kong 雍雅山房和香港中文大學
Yucca de Lac was a high-end restaurant in Hong Kong, famous for frequently serving as a scene for the black-and-white Cantonese films made in the 1960s and many famous actors such as Bruce Lee, Connie Chan Po-chu, Josephine Siao and Bowie Wu enjoyed their tea there. Located at Tai Po Road, Ma Liu Shui, near the Chinese University of Hong Kong, it was opened in 1963 and closed on September 20, 2005.
The scene of a man and woman enjoying afternoon tea under a parasol in the restaurant is part of the collective memory of many Hong Kongers. The site of the restaurant has been sold to a local businessman at HKD 360 million, to be developed as a real estate project. There are concerns from environmental groups that woodland on the site will not be preserved.
The restaurant's name is derived from "yucca", a species of evergreen plant, and de Lac meaning by the lake in French.
