Hong Kong Museums

Hong Kong’s past and ascension may seem like a dark mystery to people. The mystery is unraveled in Hong Kong’s Museum of History. Find out about Hong Kong’s rough, humble beginnings and its various stages that have transformed Hong Kong into a beautiful, strong city. Make your way over to the Victoria Harbor boardwalk on the Kowloon side. There, you’ll encounter many Hong Kong’s intriguing and well-known museums including the Hong Kong Space Museum, the architecturally impressive Hong Kong Cultural Centre and Hong Kong Museum of Art. For those more into pop culture, check out Madame Tussauds Wax Museum of famous people at Victoria Peak.

Victoria Harbor Boardwalk or promenade on the side of Kowloon Peninsula offers many museums, a gorgeous harbor view of the buildings, a statue of Bruce Lee, vendors and just a nice stroll. On the Hong Kong Island side, there is a carnival with a huge ferris wheel.
