James Shiju
β β β β β a year agoHK's planning and infrastructure gallery. It showcases HK's planning strategies and blueprint proposal, historical development and growth of the city, as well as the future development proposals. There is also a gallery for temporary and changing exhibitions of the same subject matter. Informative for those interested in this field. Just felt the displays were a bit sparse, compared to years ago, when I last visited. Perhaps most of the development plans had been carried out already. It is still a comfortable and enriching place to visit and take a break. Entrance is free, and usually not many visitors.

β β β β β 7 years agoVery good location and children can have a lot of fun and knowledge about the city development as well as its historical information. The most important, it is free of charge. Beside, when we arrived there, on the 2nd and 3rd floor, you can view the e-formula race inside the building. Great!
