Academic Research[]

Remnants of Kowloon Walled City's South Gate and its entrance plaques excavated by Li.

Li is famous for his study in Hong Kong pre-modern salt industry. Back in the 20th Century, there had been numerous sites of industry excavated along Hong Kong coast line. The sites were believed to be lime or ceramic kilns by that time. Li was the first to argue that a number of sites are not kilns but stoves to produce salt.[4] His argument alters the understanding of Hong Kong economic status in fifth to tenth Century Southeast Asia and eventually earned him a seat at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences.[5][6]

Li also participated in multiple important excavations, including the Kowloon Walled City excavation in 1994,[7] the Tai Fu Tai Mansion project in 2001,[8][deprecated source] a widely concerned Mong Kok excavation in 2004,[9][10][11] and the Chi Ma Wan excavation.[12]
