Hong Kong By Night & Palace Museum

OVERVIEW

Browse the collection of extraordinary artifacts in the Hong Kong Palace Museum and enjoy a nightcap at a luxurious hotel that overlooks the harbor and skyline, which will look especially radiant in the early evening. Many of the precious objects in the museum are from the Forbidden City and offer a glimpse into court life in the Ming and Qing dynasties. You may see imperial porcelain wares, portraits of the emperors and exquisite jade sculptures. Even the museum building pays homage to the Forbidden City as it was designed as a fresh interpretation of its traditional architecture. Hong Kong will be aglow as you return outside for a scenic drive to the Kerry Hotel, where you will enjoy a drink and canapés on the outdoor terrace. It is an ideal setting to gaze out over Victoria Harbour with the dramatic multi-colored city lights beautifully reflected on the water’s surface.
