1 / 5Heritage of Mei Ho House
📍 Pak Tin, Kowloon
Interactive museum showcasing Hong Kong's first public housing story through preserved rooms and personal stories of former residents.
Educational and entertaining museum dedicated to the first communal residential living project in HK. I enjoyed my visit very much and learned a lot. The exhibits incorporate the stories of "Mei Ho Alumni" (people who lived in these rooms) which makes them more personal and allows for deeper understanding of the atmosphere at the time. I highly recommend this museum to anyone visiting the area.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
An excellent free educational experience where children can step back in time and learn about Hong Kong's housing history through authentic preserved spaces.

“A must visit in Hong Kong! Touching stories and exhibits demonstrating local perseverance. Some of the living conditions are still common today which only makes a deeper connection with information at hand. Very valuable history museum”

“Very nice museum that was not crowded at all. A lot of information was provided on the exhibits. Would probably take an hour to slowly go through the museum. Free admission.”

“HK history. Free entry. One of the first public housing blocks in HK working class area. Now this 1 block has been converted into museum on part of the ground floor and 1st floor and youth hostel. Can see how people use to live in the first public housing in HK. Well presented. Not very popular, so you can have a leisurely visit with minimal noise”
