Tung Wah Museum (50 images)
It is easy to justify an in-depth look at the Tung Wah Museum, Hong Kong's 95th Declared Monument. This is a hidden gem, completely surrounded by the Kwong Wah Hospital complex at 25 Waterloo Road in Yau Ma Tei. The building may not be large but the detail it contains is substantial: it was difficult to choose the fifty images you see here from a collection of over one hundred.
