HK Stroll vol.1|Tai Kwun: Drink a cup of time coffee in a century-old prison building☕️

#香港隐世cafe I deliberately avoided the popular check-in spots in Hong Kong for 3 days, but I found a treasure in Central! Tai Kwun, which was converted from a group of police stations in the 19th century, completely refreshed my imagination of urban renewal - 16 historical buildings hide art, coffee and surprises, especially the experience of drinking coffee in the former prison is so special! Walking into this space surrounded by high walls, the former Victoria Prison and police station dormitory are now replaced with art exhibition halls: the married sergeant's dormitory has become a contemporary art museum, the prison playground is covered with lawns, and giant art installations are scattered among them. When passing through the archway, you can even vaguely feel the breath of the times✨. The most recommended place is On the Hill Coffee Bar. This coffee shop named by Time Out is located in the old police dormitory. The wooden window panes and brick walls retain the traces of time. Order a cup of iced coffee and sit in the courtyard. You can look up and see the prison walls and the modern skyline overlap. It is magical and healing~ The strength of Tai Kwun is that it has brought historical buildings to life: art workshops and film screenings are updated on the official website at any time, and even the visual design is a collision of retro and trendy. Next time you come to Hong Kong, remember to go into this space soaked in time and drink a cup of coffee with a story~
