The museum is near West Kowloon, which is really far from the MTR station. It is not recommended to go in particularly hot or rainy weather. It is a long way to go. If the weather is not very good, it is quite hard.

The "Hong Kong Palace Museum" (香港故宮文化博物館) is a cultural institution located in Hong Kong. It aims to showcase the rich cultural heritage of China, particularly artifacts and treasures from the Palace Museum in Beijing (also known as the Forbidden City). The museum features exhibitions highlighting various aspects of Chinese history, art, and culture, providing visitors with insights into the country's imperial past. It serves as a platform for cultural exchange and education, attracting both locals and tourists interested in Chinese history and heritage.
Compared with the small number of visitors to the Forbidden City in Beijing, you can watch the exhibition very comfortably. The regular exhibition and the special exhibition have their own characteristics, and there are many unique exhibits. It is worth spending half a day to taste the cultural charm of the Forbidden City. If the weather is good, the surrounding scenery is very large. Unfortunately, this time I encountered a typhoon, the observation deck was closed, and I look forward to a visit!
