M+(M+ Museum)

Meet Picasso in Hong Kong! 😍 The M+ Museum and Sotheby’s Gallery are truly a paradise for art lovers. The moment you step inside, the masterpieces by the great masters instantly captivate your eyes! Picasso’s powerful brushstrokes and intense color clashes are even more stunning in person than in pictures—thousands of times more impactful! Previously, we learned about artists’ stories and artwork analysis through books and the internet, but visiting in person lets you truly experience the charm of “knowing and doing as one”! Standing in front of the original works, you can feel the soul behind the canvas. Knowledge is no longer flat text but becomes a tangible, perceptible reality 🖼️! Whether you’re a beginner or a hardcore fan, these two venues are definitely worth checking out! The space where light and color intertwine offers master-level photo opportunities in every corner 📸—quickly save this guide and embark on a timeless conversation with the masters! #HongKongArtCheckIn #M+Museum #SothebysGallery

#hongkongtrip The museum has a stunningly beautiful observation deck. All you need to do is go up there during golden hour. It's the perfect time for photos. Hong Kongers take wedding photos there, and school class photos are also taken there. But the deck is large, so you're sure to find a spot for a photo without people. There's usually a long line to take photos at a location with mountains in the background. Instead of wasting time in line, take a photo from the other side, with the sea and skyscrapers in the background.

🌿 M+ Rooftop Garden: A Sky Garden Overlooking Victoria Harbor 🌆 M+ Rooftop Garden Atop the M+ Museum, a landmark in Hong Kong's West Kowloon Cultural District, lies a hidden urban oasis: the Rooftop Garden 🌿✨ This spot offers breathtaking panoramic views of Victoria Harbor and the Hong Kong Island skyline.

M+ is a visual culture museum and one of the world's largest modern and contemporary visual culture museums. Located in the West Kowloon Cultural District of Kowloon, it opened on November 11, 2021. It collects and displays visual arts, designs, architecture, and moving images from Hong Kong, mainland China, Asia, and around the world from the 20th and 21st centuries! The exterior design of the M+ museum is a simple industrial style, with gray and metallic silver as the main tone and many wooden furnishings. It is visually pleasing and has a simple yet artistic feel. With the view of Victoria Harbour facing the West Kowloon Cultural District, both inside and around the museum offer great photo opportunities. 📷 Photo spot 1: M+ logo When visiting M+, of course, you have to take a photo in front of the M+ logo - this is also the location where most people take their first photos! In fact, there are two locations outside the museum with the M+ logo, not just at the main entrance, but also at the other entrance/exit. Just walk around the outside of the museum to find it! 📷 Photo spot 2: Gray three-dimensional wall There is a large gray three-dimensional wall on the side of M+ with several rows of connected long benches in front of it. Many people sit here to relax and unwind! The gray three-dimensional wall is a great photo spot, giving a simple yet extraordinary feeling. 📷 Photo spot 3: Glass exterior wall reflecting Victoria Harbour view M+ museum faces the Victoria Harbour view of the Hong Kong Island. Walking around the museum, you can admire the stunning Victoria Harbour view from afar! 📷 Photo spot 4: The spiral staircase on the 2nd floor The spiral staircase is located in the lobby on the 2nd floor and is an architectural landmark of Herzog & de Meuron, a Swiss architectural firm. It has a Northern European architectural style. This is also a popular photo spot in the M+ museum, and when it is busy, everyone will queue up! Note: The spiral staircase is only for decoration, and the upper floors were closed. 📷 Photo spot 5: Colorful sun wall outside the exhibition hall on the 2nd floor This is my favorite photo spot! Seeing the colorful sun gives a positive and energetic feeling! 📷 Photo spot 6: Gray three-dimensional grid on the rooftop garden on the 3rd floor This is my second favorite photo spot. It feels like being in a sketch! When I was studying design, I used to draw some three-dimensional squares. Now I can immerse myself in the drawing. XD 📷 Photo spot 7: Sea view staircase location As a visual culture museum, M+ naturally has many visually impactful artworks! For me, the most visually impactful are colors, lines, and shapes. I like the feeling of a complex design with a neat structure! Some people may find visiting museums boring, while others find it interesting. It depends on personal preferences, so just stay longer if you like it! 📍M+ (M Plus Museum) Address: 38 Museum Drive, West Kowloon Cultural District, Kowloon, Hong Kong Transportation: Take the MTR to Kowloon Station (towards the West Kowloon Cultural District) and walk for about 10 minutes to reach the museum.

Thanks to my best friend for the free ticket, I revisited M+ recently to check out the exhibitions, one of which was "M+ Sigg Collection: The Mental Landscape," fully open since August 22. Before exploring the exhibition, I admired the "Rainbow" installation on the second floor. The first section of the exhibition features vibrant and colorful artworks, evoking a sense of joy. However, behind the smiles lies the artists' concern about the prevalence of consumer culture. Initially, I was drawn to the colors of two paintings, but upon closer inspection, I noticed bottles of Coca-Cola. Besides the familiar "Coca-Cola" logo, the bottles also displayed phrases like "No Mouth, No Joy," "Cry Mouth, Cry Joy," and "Bitter Mouth, Bitter Joy." Next, I appreciated the series "Sister" by artist Duan Jianyu, who created a fictional flight attendant as the protagonist of her paintings. She is depicted dragging a long suitcase filled with crops and animals. Another series, "Guide to Plateau Life," shows the flight attendant milking sheep on a plateau. My favorite exhibit was Ni Youyu's "Galaxy." I lingered for a long time, carefully examining the intricate details painted on coins. On coins resembling "two-dollar coins," there were drawings of gardenias. "The Year 2000" seems to be the most popular spot for taking photos. Exploring exhibitions and enjoying Hong Kong.

This time I visited a new-style Chinese restaurant in the West Kowloon Cultural District and tried their creative dim sum and small dishes. We ordered some roasted meats and dim sum. First, the candied Spanish black pork char siu, with a sweet honey glaze and tender meat, roasted in an oven. The quarter crispy-skinned Jinling suckling pig had a fragrant and crispy skin, served with thin pancakes and sauce, not too greasy to eat. For dim sum, the agate shrimp dumplings had translucent skins and crunchy shrimp, with a delicate appearance. The fish roe siu mai was topped with fish roe, salty and fresh in flavor. The dried tangerine peel and coriander beef meatballs were smooth and fresh with added coriander. The lobster soup xiao long bao was very special. The matsutake chrysanthemum tofu soup showed excellent knife skills, with tofu cut as finely as chrysanthemum petals, carrying the aroma of matsutake mushrooms, and the broth was clear but flavorful. Tea and mustard $38/person. The restaurant environment is comfortable and spacious. If you want to try new-style Chinese cuisine, their creative dim sum and dishes offer a great way to experience Hong Kong’s food culture. 📍Pu B1, M+, 38 Museum Drive, West Kowloon Cultural District, Tsim Sha Tsui #WestKowloonCulturalDistrict #WestKowloonChineseCuisine #ChineseCuisine #DimSum #Travel #HongKongTravel #TsimShaTsuiRestaurants #travel #dimsum #foodie #ChineseDimSum #TasteOfHongKong #foodiehk #foodphotography
