Hong Kong Museum Parent-Child Trip
This time I took my son to Hong Kong, we didn't go to Disneyland or Ocean Park, but visited many museums instead. We had a great time just the same, and here I'd like to share some tips.
First of all, upon arriving in Hong Kong, the first impression is that Hong Kong people are more enthusiastic than they were ten years ago. When we asked a young man who was jogging at night for directions, not only did he tell us how to get there, but he also waited for us at the next intersection, afraid that we would take the wrong path; when we went to the bank to change for small bills, since we didn't have a local bank account, the front desk lady went out of her way to communicate with the teller for us, so we could successfully get the change; at the restaurant, the cashier auntie warmly recommended dishes to us, and when we were leaving, she even said 'Have fun'. Throughout the trip, we spoke Mandarin and did not encounter the discrimination or unfair treatment mentioned online. The premise is that we also need to show our quality.
Back to the main topic , if you also want to take your child to leisurely stroll around Hong Kong and visit various museums, the following two tips are very important.
One, it seems that Hong Kong doesn't really try to make money off children, especially in terms of educational aspects. They have a museum pass (annual card system), which costs 100 Hong Kong dollars per year, allowing unlimited visits to all museums under the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (including the Space Museum, Science Museum, History Museum, etc.). Here comes the key point, do you think 100 Hong Kong dollars a year is not cheap? Let me tell you, this is an annual fee for a family of up to four people, do you still think it's expensive? You'll earn it back with just one visit , and you can also get a discount on souvenirs with the card. So how do you apply? Just fill out the application form on the Leisure and Cultural Services Department's website in advance, and then send an email to the museum where you want to pick up the card (must be collected within 15 days), or you can fill out the application form and print it out to handle it on site. We mainland tourists can also apply.
Two, the dome movie at the Space Museum is a must-see, but it's almost impossible to buy tickets on-site during holidays. We can buy tickets 7 days in advance on the Cityline ticketing website, and then go to the ticket counter with the confirmation barcode to exchange for tickets. When we were exchanging tickets, looking at the envious eyes of those tourists behind us who could only buy tickets for the next day or the day after, we felt a bit smug . Of course, it's also best to buy tickets for the Peak Tram and the Ferris wheel online in advance.
In summary, we had a particularly fun trip to Hong Kong these past few days.
The Hong Kong History Museum is a very exquisite Hong Kong Museum, with rich exhibits, vivid displays, and a brief display of the development process and important history of Hong Kong from ancient times to the Guandai. It is worth seeing again.
To know more about the life of Hong Kong 50-80, you can go to the History Museum. The permanent exhibition hall here presents the scenes of those years to visitors with scenes or video clips, and can take pictures of some scenes. The older generation has good memories. Young people are aware of the development process of old Hong Kong. ,
Exhibition Hong Kong History Era Development Folk custom exhibition selection exhibits and classic collections covering prehistoric to 97 return time is very suitable for friends who want to know about Hong Kong history to visit 👍
Very interesting museum, it displays these history of Hong Kong. it's worth a visit
The Hong Kong History Museum is good, long knowledge, worth a visit.
Super recommended place! It closes on Tuesday. Wednesday is free. But it seems that the fare is not expensive, like HK$10. The Hong Kong Folklore and Hong Kong Style Street in the museum are the most worth visiting. It is recommended to play for 2 hours. In the folk part, we can see the related accessories of dragon boat dance, which are gorgeous and exquisite. In the part of the Style Street, there are similarities and differences with the Nanjing Museum. The scenery restores the appearance of the old Hong Kong in the last century and is suitable for shooting. At the same time, there are voices that simulate the life of old Hong Kong. It's worth seeing.
Unlike the mainland Museum of history, we can see the living history of Hong Kong. Besides exhibits, there are also video and voice materials. What's more, even the buildings have moved directly into the museum. It feels like we have passed through that era. Absolutely recommended! Ps, before the strategy said that 1-2 hours can be done, real experience, 10:30 in the morning, 3:30 in the afternoon, did not rest in the middle, did not eat, full five hours, there are three short films did not see.
