The largest art market in Asia, and a city of new museums built on reclaimed land.
Asia's museum of 20th- and 21st-century visual culture, opened in 2021 in a Herzog & de Meuron building whose façade becomes a giant screen at night. Design, architecture and moving image sit beside art.
Opened in 2022 with long-term loans from the Palace Museum in Beijing's Forbidden City: imperial painting, porcelain and court objects, in rotations that change several times a year.
The Central Police Station, Magistracy and Victoria Prison, a walled compound of the 1860s onwards, restored in 2018 with two new galleries by Herzog & de Meuron for contemporary shows.
A tower in Central built for galleries, with Hauser & Wirth, Pace, David Zwirner and others stacked floor by floor.
Rooms, ruins and curiosities: the city's other museum.
A temple of 1847 for the gods of literature and war, its air thick with giant incense coils hanging from the ceiling, each burning for weeks.
A public housing estate of 1962–64 whose blocks are painted in the colours of the rainbow, its name in Cantonese.
Part of the 'Monster Building': five densely packed residential blocks of the 1960s around a courtyard, with thousands of windows and air-conditioners.
A colonial cemetery of 1845 on the hillside above the racecourse: sailors, merchants, missionaries and the city's founders.
Portuguese churches, Chinese temples and the ruins of São Paulo, about an hour by ferry or bridge.
The Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery, by cable car.
Tai Kwun at opening → walk to Man Mo Temple → the H Queen's galleries → Star Ferry to Kowloon → M+ and the Palace Museum → the harbour at night from the M+ terrace.
