🏛️ Cultural & Museum Openings
🛕 Central Cultural Museum – Just Opened!
A must-visit near the Peak Tram, this elegant new museum offers a timeline of Hong Kong through immersive rooms and VR simulations.
📸 Favorite Exhibit: Step inside a 1900s Chinese teahouse recreated in full detail!

Great for little ones, nostalgic locals, and anyone who loves Hong Kong's harbor history.
