描述
Escape the bustling city to discover a century-old heritage site in Kowloon. Ideal for those seeking a unique perspective on heritage and history from the Qing Dynasty through the colonial era.
Step away from Hong Kong’s bustling city centre into a well-hidden, century-old heritage cluster. Set on a lush hillside, Jao Tsung-I Academy stands as a living witness to Hong Kong’s development. Over the past one and a half centuries, the site has continually transformed to meet society’s changing needs—evolving from a Qing Dynasty customs station into a labourers’ quarter, a prison, a hospital, and finally a triumph of revitalised built heritage that promotes culture.
Perfect for couples, families, culture seekers, business travellers, first-time visitors, and university groups, this experience blends enriching historical storytelling, arts appreciation and culture in a relaxed, unhurried pace. Hosted by a professional guide, the journey is meticulously crafted to deliver an immersive, meaningful, and unique Hong Kong experience.
Your journey takes you across all three of the academy's hillside zones, starting from the tranquil lotus ponds of the Low Zone, through the activity-rich Middle Zone, and ascending to the extraordinary High Zone. Along the way, you will get exclusive access to the off-limits rare relics of the past, including the original Kowloon-Customs Station Boundary Stone. After uncovering the compound's intriguing medical history and tracing the former site boundary at the High Zone's historic Old Pier entrance, you will wrap up the journey with a relaxing tea break and a friendly chat with the guide. It is the perfect way to conclude your experience before enjoying free time to continue wandering the scenic site and exploring the exhibitions at your own pace.
