Tsim Sha Tsui's Best Spots | 6 Recommended British Retro Style Check-ins in Hong Kong

The Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre has 6 recommended British retro-style check-in spots! Although Hong Kong is small in size, it has many unique and flavorful buildings. One of them is the Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre located next to Kowloon Park. The pure white exterior of the Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre is one of the most classic British-style buildings in Hong Kong. Not only is the exterior beautiful, but there are also many check-in spots inside that are very Instagrammable. The Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre is located in Kowloon Park, formerly known as the S61 and S62 barracks on Waterloo Road. It is believed that the two barracks were built in the late 1890s. In 1967, the barracks were gradually handed over to the government for cultural and recreational use, and in 1970, they were developed into Kowloon Park. From 1983 to 1998, the two buildings were used as a temporary site for the Hong Kong Museum of History. In 2003, the buildings were handed over to the Antiquities and Monuments Office for restoration, and in 2005, they became the Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre, used for promoting cultural heritage and educational activities. Since October 2005, the Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre has been open to the public, with main facilities including permanent exhibition halls, thematic exhibition halls, lecture halls, education activity rooms, and reference libraries.
