“Great museum. It tells the full story of Hong Kong, including its port and maritime history, and features many exhibits such as ship models and other artifacts. There is also an entire section dedicated to nature conservation and marine protection. For about 3–4 US$\Euros, it’s a nice activity if you have some extra time in the city.”

“A must-visit if you're into maritime histories. The venue is clean and well air-conditioned. Toilet also available. The price is very reasonable for $30HKD. There were a good collection of Chinese artifacts and ship models. Quite a detailed information of Chinese naval histories and Hong Kong habours. The venue also has a good view into the Victoria Harbour. Convenient to access it you're also catching ferry to the other side of Hong Kong Island. Main entrance is located upstairs on 1st floor.”
