KOWLOON SHANGRI-LA HELPS GUESTS EXPLORE TSIM SHA TSUI’S CULTURAL HERITAGE
A stay at Kowloon Shangri-La, Hong Kong gives you a special chance. The hotel offers a beautifully bound commemorative publication, video clips and a Cultural Heritage Package, with a three- to four-hour guided walking tour to see and feel the living cultural history.
Apart from food, shopping, night life, popular places of interest and sound infrastructure for business and leisure, Hong Kong has much to offer. Tsim Sha Tsui alone is a land of legends brimming with cultural heritage and fascinating stories.
As the very first hotel to open in the reclaimed Tsim Sha Tsui East, Kowloon ShangriLa, Hong Kong pioneers a project to unearth some off the beaten paths and unbeknown interesting facts ‘hidden’ in the Tsim Sha Tsui areas for decades or even a century.
The hotel’s publication and video clips capture the sights of the past and present, and some untold stories. The sights include the city’s oldest military facility, the first Catholic church on Kowloon peninsula, the primary school attended by Kung Fu master Bruce Lee and buildings that have received UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage awards, to name a few.
The stories reveal Hong Kong people’s lifestyle in the last few decades, ‘East meets West’ and the harmonious blend of different cultures, languages, ethnicities and faiths. The endurance of ancient traditions in its modern spaces has shaped this unique culture and is a truly contemporary fusion of antiquity and innovation.
A suggestion to have a great day? The in-house guests may still purchase the guided local tour through the concierge. Start the day with a simple breakfast at the hotel, walk around TST and TSTE then come back to the hotel for lunch at Angelini, starred Italian Restaurant.
