"Encountering Hong Kong's Past The best way to know a city is through its history. Hong Kong’s many well-curated museums tell the stories of its heritage by allowing visitors to literally walk through it. For a journey through time, the Hong Kong Museum of History uses impressive, life-size replicas to take you through 400 million years of the city’s development. Start with a tour of its terrain, wander through recreated streets of Old Hong Kong and end with a film on that pivotal moment in 1997 when it acquired its Special Administered Region status. The kids will love exploring the different Hong Kong eras and identities, too."
