The magnificent Haw Par Villa

I was bored that day, so I drove my private car to Tai Hang in Causeway Bay for a self-driving tour. Suddenly, I saw an antique building. After looking at the name, I knew it was the 10-point famous Haw Par Villa. So I lowered my car and went to take a look over there. It was Saturday that day and there was no one inside. It was as lonely as a ruin in the city. I never thought that the Haw Par Villa, which I had heard so much about from my elders since I was a child, was actually so empty. I thought there would be many tourists. I heard my grandfather said that our home used to be next to Tiger Balm Villa and was called Longyuan. Every day at 9 o'clock, my father would walk down the stairs next to Haw Par Villa and take the school bus back to school. Therefore, they are very familiar with Haw Par Villa. They often ask me to take them there to reminisce about the past, but unfortunately I don't have the time.

The future fate of the villa is unknown! Before it officially ceases operations, Haw Par Music Garden will still open its lobby and gardens to the public for free. Everyone should remember to seize the opportunity to see this Grade I historical building that combines Chinese and Western styles and take a journey back in time! Haw Par Villa|3 weeks left to closure! Free admission to Grade I historic buildings Haw Par Mansion was built in 1935 as the former residence of businessman and "Tiger Balm King" Wu Boon Hu. An astronomical sum of $16 million was spent on its construction, so the villa was a palace-style house that symbolized wealth and power at the time. Many Hong Kong people are most impressed by its "Tiger Tower" and the relief carvings of the Ten Courts of Hell, commonly known as the "Eighteen Layers of Hell", such as "Falling into the Oil Wok" and "Hooking the Ligand Tendons". At that time, many parents would bring their children to visit and warn their children not to make mistakes. This has become a childhood memory for many Hong Kong people!
