A must-visit in Hong Kong! The Palace Museum Cultural Centre encounters a millennium of romance by Victoria Harbour

Who would have thought that beside the dazzling sea view of Victoria Harbour, there is a "trendiest Forbidden City"! The Hong Kong Palace Museum Cultural Centre brings 600 years of imperial treasures into a modern glass building, where history and fashion collide to create stunning sparks~ Stepping into the museum is instantly breathtaking! The transparent glass curtain wall reflects Victoria Harbour, and turning around reveals the Palace Museum’s collection of bronzes, calligraphy, and ceramics quietly displayed, as if time and space overlap 🎞️ Recommended must-see exhibits: • Qing dynasty emperors’ dragon robes and splendid garments, with gold thread embroidery so detailed you can see the flowing cloud patterns • The Palace Museum’s authentic calligraphy and painting exhibition area, where Wang Xizhi’s ink works appear even more vigorous under the light and shadow • The special exhibition "Imperial Life" area, with a restored emperor’s study full of tiny objects that detail lovers will adore The best part is the interior design! The "Flying Apsaras" light fixtures hanging in the stairwell are inspired by Dunhuang murals, and the circular skylight in the atrium lets natural light pour down, casting a "heavenly light" on the artifacts like in ancient paintings~ When tired, head to the top-floor café, sip the special "Forbidden City Coffee," and gaze at the sailboats on Victoria Harbour—the blend of ancient and modern vibes is simply perfect! From the red walls of the Forbidden City to the lights of Victoria Harbour, this place is not just a museum but a romantic encounter spanning a thousand years~ History buffs and photography enthusiasts rush here, as every corner is perfect for stunning shots!
