TAI KWUN

Tai Kwun – Centre for Heritage and Arts is Hong Kong’s largest ever historic building revitalisation project, transforming the city’s former Central Police Station compound, with its 170 years of history, into a new art and cultural centre. After more than a decade in transformation, the centre is now opened to the public. Tai Kwun, or Big Station, is the colloquial name of the once closed compound. The name has been adopted as a reminder of the historical importance of the site. Standing in sharp contrast to the surrounding commercial towers, Tai Kwun today provides a rare ‘courtyard’ in the middle of one of the densest cities in the world where the public can enjoy scenery, tranquillity and the city’s heritage. #themeparks #nationalpark
