A Half-Day of Heritage and Art at Tai Kwun, Central

Tai Kwun sits on Hollywood Road in Central, made up of three groups of buildings: the former Central Police Station, Central Magistracy and Victoria Prison, declared monuments in 1995 and opened in phases from 2018 after a decade of revitalisation. The site combines historic buildings, two new blocks (JC Cube and JC Contemporary) and outdoor space, hosting exhibitions and performances. It is a revitalisation project by the Hong Kong Jockey Club with the government. Check the official site for current opening hours and programmes before you go. A practical plan: explore Tai Kwun first, then walk Hollywood Road and PMQ, finishing with an afternoon tea nearby.

Editor’s noteFor heritage and art in one stop, Tai Kwun is a solid, convenient pick in Central; check the official site for opening and programme details before visiting.
