Pok Fu Lam's Best Destination | Recommended European-style Historical Sites Tour Route in Pok Fu Lam

Around Pokfulam, there are many European-style historical buildings, which look like buildings in Hayao Miyazaki's animations at first glance! This time, we recommend a historical monument tour route to everyone, which takes about an hour to walk through Mei Foo Sun Chuen, the University of Hong Kong's Main Building, and St. Bonaventure Church. Station 1: Mei Yuen Estate Speaking of Mei Ho House, the most well-known fact is that it was once rented by singer Alfred Hui, but now it serves as staff quarters for the University of Hong Kong and is a Grade II historic building. Mei Ho House was built in 1926 and was a gathering place for the upper class in the 1920s. The mansion stands alone on the hillside, and from the balcony outside the mansion, you can enjoy the sea view and the beautiful sunset. In addition, the entire mansion is bright and white, like an English castle! However, since the mansion is not open to the public now, please be careful not to disturb the residents inside when visiting. Rose Village Address: 132 Pok Fu Lam Road. Transportation: Bus: 37A, 970, 970X, 973 Station 2, HKU Grand Hall. Next stop, we arrive at the last remaining castle-like building in Hong Kong, the Main Building of the University of Hong Kong! The Main Building is a neo-Gothic style building with an elegantly designed staircase on the outside, grand and magnificent, making people feel like they are walking into a European castle. Due to its gorgeous and antique style, many Hong Kong movies have been filmed here, including "Overheard 2", "Chuanshan Fangzi", "The Love Guru", and so on. Nowadays, the Main Building is used as a male dormitory for HKU students, so please be mindful not to disturb them during your visit. The University Hall of the University of Hong Kong. Address: 144 Pok Fu Lam Road. Transportation: Bus: 91, 970, 970X, 7, 37A, 40, 40M, 71, 90B Station 3, Bernini Church. Another characteristic building is the only Neo-Gothic church in Hong Kong, the St. Bonaventure Church! The church has a history of 145 years and is listed as a Grade II historical building in Hong Kong. It is now the campus of the Film and Television Academy of the Performing Arts. The church is full of European architectural style, with pure white as the main color, and cream-colored louver windows and fan doors, which are very French romantic and retro. However, it is reminded that the interior of the church is only for appointment holders, and the public can only visit outside the church and related religious places. Friends who want to visit should pay attention! Bern Cathedral Address: 139 Pok Fu Lam Road, Pok Fu Lam. Transportation: Bus: 4, 7, A10, 37A, 37B, 40, 40M, 43X, 46X, M49, 71, 90B, 91, 970, 970X Dedicated minibus: 22, 22S, 23, 31, 36
