In brief
Visitors to the renovated Lung Wah Hotel can now explore the vibrant past of Hong Kong in a hands-on museum dedicated to the city's transformation over the decades.
The Lung Wah Hotel, once a beloved retreat in Hong Kong’s northern New Territories during the 1950s and 60s, has transformed into a museum reflecting the city’s colorful history. Known for its lush gardens and as a practice space for martial arts icon Bruce Lee, the hotel has struggled for decades but is now embracing its past with a project named Hong Kong Radiance.The museum aims to recreate the lively atmosphere of a city that transitioned from a postwar manufacturing hub to a global financial center. Curator John Wu has designed the space to mimic a film set, ensuring each corner is visually appealing and cohesive. Visitors can explore the rich tapestry of street life and local culture, reminding future generations of the authentic spirit of old Hong Kong amidst its ongoing changes.
