“Within Kowloon Park. Free admission. Very glad I visited this museum. Worth the time spent here. Kowloon Park is very nice too for walks and relaxation. Impressed by the very clean seats around the park.”

“This is a nice little museum organized very well. If you enjoy moving from room to room watching short vids, you'll enjoy your visit. Architecture is kind of a hobby of mine, and I liked seeing the different periods of building in HK. NOTE to CAT LOVERS: When you exit, take a right, and there are a bunch of stray cats who live in the park hanging out behind a fenced area, just before the street.”

“The Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre is a really impressive museum situated inside Kowloon Park. It’s free to enter. The well curated exhibits take you on a journey through Hong Kong’s urban history. The exhibits highlight the different Chinese and Western building styles. Through pictures, models and some very well made short videos you get a really sense of how and why Hong Kong’s urban landscape developed the way it did. This is a MUST-VISIT spot for anyone with more than a passing interest in history, urban development or architecture.”
