The Lung Wah Hotel, once a popular retreat in Hong Kong's northern New Territories known for its lush gardens and cultural significance, is seeking revitalization through Hong Kong Radiance, a new museum located in a renovated teahouse on the property. This museum aims to capture the city's evolution from a postwar manufacturing hub into a thriving financial center. Despite struggles with patronage in the restaurant and lost amenities over the years, the hotel embraces its legacy by creating an immersive experience that celebrates its historical importance.
In its prime, the Lung Wah Hotel was a vibrant refuge, once frequented by Bruce Lee, and now strives for a revival through a new museum.
The hotel's restaurant has retained its famed roast pigeon but struggles with attendance since losing its parking lot to a police station decades ago.
The newly reimagined teahouse, Hong Kong Radiance, aims to encapsulate the city's rich transition from a postwar industrial hub to a global financial center.
Curator John Wu designed the museum to evoke a film set, hoping to offer a cohesive aesthetic experience that reflects Hong Kong's vibrant history.
