Museums by the Hong Kong Seaside

Before leaving Hong Kong, you really have to visit the Hong Kong Palace Museum! Not only does it house a vast collection of historical treasures, but it is also surrounded by the sea on three sides, offering stunning views of Victoria Harbour～You could spend a whole day here and still not get enough!

The museum is located in the West Kowloon Cultural District, with a modern and grand design. The red brick walls and glazed tiles in the courtyard are very impressive. There’s also a four-story-high sea-view platform where you can get up close to the Victoria Harbour scenery. Feeling the sea breeze and watching the boats come and go gives a great sense of travel ritual～
