Hidden gem in Hong Kong: A stunning church featured in 'A Better Tomorrow'!

Step into this church in Causeway Bay, and you’ll find yourself exclaiming "Wow!" Christ the King Chapel, the only church in Hong Kong where weddings cannot be held, is full of surprises. Not only was it a filming location for Chow Yun-fat's classic movie 'A Better Tomorrow,' but it is also a Grade I historic building constructed in 1928. As you enter the church, the Roman-style arched ceiling immediately captures your attention. Corinthian stone columns complement the colorful mosaic tiles on the floor, while sunlight streaming through stained glass windows creates breathtaking light and shadow effects, like a painting 🎨. Funded by Lady Hotung, the church is rich in details of the Classical Revival style, with even the ceiling patterns reflecting the charm of history. The solemn scenes in 'A Better Tomorrow' set in this church remain unforgettable, but visiting the site in person reveals the architectural magnificence that surpasses the movie’s visuals! Although weddings cannot be held here, visitors can quietly immerse themselves in the century-old history during open hours. Don’t forget to tread softly and capture a stunning photo under the arched ceiling to understand why this location was chosen for filming! 📍Located on Caroline Hill Road, near St. Paul's Convent School, it’s just a 10-minute walk from Causeway Bay MTR station. A must-visit spot for classical architecture enthusiasts and Hong Kong movie fans!
