Things that Hong Kong girls may not know: explore the secrets of Haw Par Villa and encounter the mysterious oriental aesthetics

#HongKongIn-Depth Tour Hong Kong In-depth Tour | #Hong Kong Beautiful Scenery Photo Spots #Hong Kong Family, today I must share with you a Hong Kong treasure niche attraction - Tiger and Leopard Villa 🐅 Before it was closed for a time, I thought I would never see it again, fortunately now I can go and check in! The Tiger and Leopard Villa was built in 1935 by brothers Hu Wenhu and Hu Wenbao, a wealthy overseas Chinese businessman. The name of the villa uses the names of their two brothers. In those days, the Hu brothers made a lot of money with "Tiger Label Ten Thousand Gold Oil" and became the "kings of the newspaper industry". This villa is not simple, red walls and green tiles with milky white walls, emerald green palace-style roof, both Chinese-style flying cornice, moon hole door, the hall also painted Jiang Taigong fishing, eight immortals crossing the sea, and integrated Western-style window sill, fireplace, and Italian lacquered glass windows, a perfect combination of Chinese and Western. When it comes to Hong Kong in the 1990s, it was really brilliant! The film has a "two-week-old one-percent" box office rule, and various classic works are endless, such as "Tang Bohu's Autumn Incense" and "Wong Fei-hung", which are super interesting to watch until now. In the music industry, the "Four Kings" are simply popular in Asia, and their songs are played in the streets and alleys. At that time, Hong Kong was full of vitality, the economy was developing rapidly, and the streets were full of the lively and prosperous scene in Hong Kong movies. It was the golden age in the hearts of many Hong Kong girls. Tiger and Leopard Villa was originally connected to a super popular Wanjin Oil Garden, the sculptures and murals in the garden tell many mythological stories, such as "eighteen layers of hell", various up knife mountain, oil pot scene, many parents took their children to, while visiting while educating children to be kind, but scared many children 😆 Although the Wanjin Oil Garden is now gone, the main building and private garden of the villa have been preserved and revitalized into a tiger and leopard fun garden, which can be booked for free visits. There are also many custom-made stained glass from Florence, Italy, painted with the symbol of the villa owner "tiger", and the rhyme with the meaning of blessing "bat", are airlifted from Italy, the sun shines, the light and shadow are super beautiful, super out of the film📸 Now, to visit the Tiger and Leopard Villa, you need to book a tour in advance. Tours are available every Friday to Sunday and public holidays (except the first to third day of the Lunar New Year), 4 sessions per day, 24 people per session, and free! To make a reservation through the Antiquities and Monuments Office's website, a maximum of two places per person can be reserved. Remember to make an appointment early, first come, first served. You will be notified by email after successful booking, and you must present your confirmation email when you enter. Transportation is also very convenient, you can take the minibus route 21M, or the 11, 41A, 63 routes and get off at Shanglin Bus Station. After strolling through Tiger and Leopard Villa, you can feel the unique historical charm and cultural charm of Hong Kong.

Haw Par Villa| #holidaygoodplace #hongkonggoodplace It was announced earlier that it will cease operations on December 1, and the Haw Par Villa historical building will also be returned to the government on the same day. The future fate of the villa is unknown! Before it officially ceases operations, Haw Par Music Garden will still open its lobby and gardens to the public for free. Everyone should remember to seize the opportunity to see this Grade I historical building that combines Chinese and Western styles and take a journey back in time! Haw Par Villa|3 weeks left to closure! Free admission to Grade I historic buildings Haw Par Mansion was built in 1935 as the former residence of businessman and "Tiger Balm King" Wu Boon Hu. An astronomical sum of $16 million was spent on its construction, so the villa was a palace-style house that symbolized wealth and power at the time. Many Hong Kong people are most impressed by its "Tiger Tower" and the relief carvings of the Ten Courts of Hell, commonly known as the "Eighteen Layers of Hell", such as "Falling into the Oil Wok" and "Hooking the Ligand Tendons". At that time, many parents would bring their children to visit and warn their children not to make mistakes. This has become a childhood memory for many Hong Kong people!
