Strategically located at the seaside of Tsim Sha Tsui, the Hong Kong Space Museum is the first planetarium for the popularization of astronomy and space science built in Hong Kong. The unique egg-shaped dome makes the 8000-square-metre museum one of the city's most famous landmarks. The Museum has two thematic exhibition halls: the Hall of the Cosmos and the Hall of Space Exploration. The exhibits, predominately interactive, enable visitors to learn through a series of entertaining and educational experiences. The Stanley Ho Space Theatre shows a variety of ultra-high-definition animations and films on astronomy. Last but not least, the Museum organizes plenty of extension activities each year, including an Astronomy Carnival, Astronomy Happy Hours, fun science lab sessions, astronomy competitions, lectures, astronomy film shows, and more.

Show More ReviewsI brought my elderly mother to visit an old friend. Her legs are weak, and she gets tired after just a few steps. The moment we stepped into the hotel, we felt the hospitality was sincere yet respectful, warm yet unpretentious. The staff didn't crowd around my mother, making her feel uncomfortable; instead, they quietly pushed over a lightweight wheelchair, handing it to me so gently, as if afraid of making her feel burdened. This meticulous care made me feel right at home, even though I was far from home. I casually mentioned that my mother missed the locust flower cakes from her hometown. The next morning at breakfast, a basket of soft, steamed locust flower cakes was quietly placed on the table, their sweet aroma exactly like the ones from her hometown. My mother sat by the window, slowly eating the cakes, watching the shadows of the trees outside. Even the feeling of being a stranger in a foreign land vanished completely; it was like returning to the old courtyard where she lived in her youth.
