'''Christopher Woo''' ([[pen name]]: '''Bat Wah Lau''') (born 1961) is a [[Hong Kong]] writer, currently a secondary school teacher teaching Chinese, a columnist, and a part-time writer.

Woo is an enthusiastic player in [[board game]]s like [[Dungeons & Dragons]]. He won the 1995 [[Monopoly (game)|Monopoly]] World Champion held in [[Monte Carlo]], subsequently writing a book about it, and helped a lot in promoting [[tabletop role-playing game]]s in Hong Kong.
