Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Debbie TBrisbane, Australia777 contributionsWe didn’t know about this place. Our 8 and 12 year old had a great time which was fantastic as it was a rainy day and kept them busy. Most of the photo opportunities were free with a couple you had to pay the professional photographer as you couldn’t take a picture yourself. The professional shots were expensive but well done.Written 9 March 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DW@BallaratBallarat, Australia1,276 contributionsLocated within Hong Kong Park is the beautifully restored Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware. Over 600 pieces of tea ware may be seen as you walk around the two floors of this former residence for the Commander of British Forces in Hong Kong. The museum specializes in the study and display of tea wares from cups and saucers to tea pots.Written 12 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TheOExpress🏴🇭🇰Hong Kong, China6,162 contributionsBut they don’t, sadly. Still, this is a diverting if small museum to wander round for a bit, set aside from a really interesting area of the NT. Lots of information and some old trains here too.Written 13 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- schmidtmgSwitzerland1,164 contributionsFirst time I went to the Asia Society's exhibition center , on the Asia Society premises close to Pacific Place and the Shangri-La hotel. Very nice and quiet exhibition pavillion with changing exhibits; there is no entrance charge I visited the exhibit "Fusion", a joint venture organized during the pandemic form 2020 to 2022 by a French -Hong Kong couple of sculptors who bought an old sawmill in Tuscany an operate their sculpture studio there. The exhibit features about 30 works of art and sculptures made out of Italian marble (executed by Italian artists)and wood (executed by Hong Kong artists). Well worth visiting..Written 1 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Edgar SHong Kong, China1,561 contributionsThe founder of modern China, Dr. Sun Yat Sen has been in Hong Kong for many years to develop his strategies and planning for a modern China. The museum gives a great insight into his career, private life, and the countless efforts he has worked out for the modernization of China. There are plenty of exhibits of him, full of many documents and photographs. Beside the building wherein the museum is located in one of the early mansions built, located in the early days of British rule and owned by a well-established and famous Chinese family. Highly recommended to visit, to go back in time. The entrance is free. Great to plan for a rainy or hot summer day in Hong Kong. Recommended.Written 17 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BradHong Kong, China182,590 contributionsThis is a two floor museum found on the G/F and 1/F of the Mei Ho Estate in Shek Kip Mei. This property is a Grade II historic building that was once part of the Shek Kip Mei Estate, an emergency public housing measure taken to create settlement for the 58,000 who lost their homes during a tragic fire in 1953. Closed down in 2005. The Mei Ho House was reopened in 2013 as a YHA Youth Hostel and Heritage Museum which you can visit today from 10am to 6pm (Tues to Sun), closed on Mondays. Entry is free.
There are two floors, the first is dedicated to everyday life in the Shek Kip Mei neighbourhood in the 1950's and 60's. There are exhibitions scenes accompanied with summary wall text describing street markets, dai pai dongs, herbal tea shops, family grocery stores, barber shops, cinemas, children's playgrounds and games, annual festivities and water sourcing.
The upstairs floor walks visitors through some of the history of the Mei Ho House. You'll learn about the great fire, the emergence of public housing governance which basically made its start because of the Shek Kip Mei tragedy. There are exhibitions setup showing various housing units in the Mei Ho House during the decades after it was opened in 1954. You will also be able to learn a bit about employment and rooftop schools of the 50's and 60's as well. Again, scenes are accompanied with short summary text.
Overall, the Heritage of Mei Ho House is a really good small museum and good learning opportunity for those who have interest in mid-20th century local history which has been preserved for future generations. If you are planning to visit Sham Shui Po and/or Shek Kip Mei, its worth a 30-45 minute visit to the Heritage of Mei Ho House.
Note: There is a pretty good Heritage of Mei Ho House app which provides the summary text of the various exhibitions on both floors. Also, if you want prefer to take a free tour of the museum, these can be arranged through the Mei Ho House website.Written 22 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is about a 10 minute walk from the markets. You need to head up the hill towards Stanley Prison. There are a number of small galleries displaying photographs and artifacts. The displays are interesting and informative. I found the section on the Vietnamese Boatpeople the most interesting. The government of Hong Kong must have spent a great deal of money housing these refugees.Written 2 November 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TheOExpress🏴🇭🇰Hong Kong, China6,162 contributions...of your time if you’re in the area as it’s free and an interesting way to spend a short while to learn about the history of the HK Jockey Club. Lots of interesting info (not ALL of it self-promoting stuff on charitable donations), plenty of artefacts, models, etc.. It’s not that big so don’t plan a whole day around it though.Written 18 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Y FUnited Kingdom92 contributionsWe were only aware of this small museum whilst flicking through the rough guide book for something to do whilst we were in Kennedy town. What a little gem to find! All of it was interesting, especially as they had lots of old photos on display.
There was displays on how heroin was made illegally and some items which were used to smuggle drugs around.
various badges, various uniforms, medals etc were also on display.
Bring your own food and water as they don’t sell any at the museum. There only sell commemorative books and the odd ‘old era’ police related postcards.
There is a sign which states if large groups arrive, they have right to be let into the museum first before any other visitors, merely due to the size of the venue.Written 25 August 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
