Hong Kong Heritage Museum
Museo del Patrimonio de Hong Kong
Hong Kong Heritage Museum (1 Man Lam Road, Sha Tin, New Territories, Hong Kong) – Located within a wooded setting just out of view of Sha Tin’s towering housing complexes, the Hong Kong Heritage Museum is patterned after the traditional si he yuan; a compound of harmoniously blended houses built around a central courtyard.
But people don’t just come here for the quaint architecture; the extensive museum is divided into 12 exhibition galleries, each a treasure trove of relics that express the history, culture and arts of early Hong Kong and the nearby South China region. Notable features include a collection of beautiful Chinese paintings by the acclaimed artist Zhao Shao’ang, and a comprehensive and colorful exhibition tracing the development of Cantonese opera.
