#WestKowloonCulturalDistrict #HongKongGoodPlaces #HongKongPalaceMuseum #HongKongSeeExhibition The weight of history! The accumulation of culture! I walked around for a whole day and only visited two floors, but my brain has been washed away by the long river of time. Even though I have seen many things in the Forbidden City in Beijing many times, I am still moved and touched! A must-visit exhibition in Hong Kong is the Hong Kong Palace Museum, which opened at the end of last year!
