Hong Kong Museum of History

If you want to find out about the city’s past, the Hong Kong Museum of History is a great place to start. The museum spans 17,500m² dedicated to fun and informative experiences: a journey to the centre of the earth in a tunnel, an adventure in a rainforest, the chance to discover a prehistoric beach… Chinese dynasties, the Opium Wars and modernity: all the major periods of this former British colony that has now been handed back to China are covered here. A visit to the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, which focuses on Chinese opera, and contemporary art and design, is the perfect follow-on.
