Tracing the Story of a City — Hong Kong Museum of History

Located in Tsim Sha Tsui East, the Hong Kong Museum of History is one of the city’s most fascinating cultural landmarks. It tells the remarkable story of Hong Kong’s journey — from prehistoric times to the present day — through immersive galleries and lifelike recreations. The museum’s highlight is the permanent exhibition “Hong Kong: The Story of Us,” which spans over 7,000 square meters and covers the city’s natural environment, traditional culture, colonial era, and modern development. Visitors can walk through recreated old streets, explore a traditional Chinese opera theatre, and even step into a nostalgic 1960s Hong Kong setting complete with shopfronts and tram tracks. Every corner feels alive with sound, texture, and history. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a local wanting to rediscover the city’s roots, the museum offers a meaningful journey through time. With free admission and a location right next to the Science Museum, it’s a must-visit stop for anyone who wants to understand how Hong Kong became the vibrant metropolis it is today.#hkonbudget
