The Beatles arrived in Hong Kong

at 12 pm on Monday 8^th June 1964. It was 48 years ago.

  

 More than 1,000 fans were waiting for The Beatles at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport when they arrived on 8 June. They were allowed to bypass customs and immigration procedures and were swiftly taken to the President Hotel in Kowloon, where they were booked to stay on the 15th floor.

On 9^th June 1964, the Beatles performed two shows at the

Princess Theatre in Kowloon Hong Kong. Two instrumental groups

supported The Beatles. They were The Maori H-Five and Sounds

Incoporated. The next day on the 10th, the group and their entourage hopped a flight to Sydney Australia.
