Hong Kong Science Museum

The Hong Kong Science Museum occupies 4 floors, and tourists are attracted by its scale. According to local residents, the attraction is at the top of the list of planned visits among tourists. Travelers are interested to see exhibitions dedicated to the history or culture of China.

An unconventional approach

Before visiting the Hong Kong Science Museum, it is worth knowing about the ban on getting closer than a meter to the exhibits, but fines for trying to touch museum valuables do not apply here. On the contrary, more than 500 exhibits have gathered on an area of more than 6,500 square meters, which are strongly recommended to touch, twist and contact them in every possible way. Such interactivity attracts the attention of both adults and young visitors.

An energy machine is installed on the ground floor of the Hong Kong Science Museum, occupying all floors. Reinforcing tubes form loops and spirals that intertwine and form a huge 22-meter-high structure. Several times a day, according to the schedule, the machine is activated. When the device is turned on, there is a continuous stream of balls, it is easy to spend several tens of minutes watching the rolling balls.
