👍👍 Built in 1937, King Yin Lei is one of Hong Kong's best examples of Chinese Renaissance architecture. It is a sprawling palace built by a Chinese woman entrepreneur at a time when both women and Chinese people were not welcome in the upper echelons of colonial Hong Kong society. And yet, ever since...

👍 There is an exhibition introducing the history of the Walled City.

🫤 So much construction on Ship Street south of Queen's Road East that it is nearly impossible to walk up to the Nam Koo Terrace these days. Really hope they do something with this historical building at some point in the future. Would make for a nice museum venue.
