Blue House Cluster

#HongKongIn-depthTour The Blue House complex in Wan Chai is a rare historical tenement building complex in urban Hong Kong that still retains residents. There are three buildings here: the Blue House, the Yellow House and the Orange House. The Blue House is the most representative building among them, named after its bright blue exterior walls. These buildings retain the pre-war "arcade-style" design and are an important testimony to Hong Kong's post-war residential development. Unlike ordinary museums, the Blue House’s cultural conservation model is very innovative. It adopts a community participation approach of “keeping the house and the people”, allowing the indigenous residents to continue living there while revitalizing the site. The museum houses the "Hong Kong Story House", which allows visitors to gain a deeper understanding of local life history, folk beliefs and community changes through interactive exhibitions and guided tours. The existence of the Blue House proves that cultural preservation can coexist with modern life. It is a rare space in Hong Kong's urban area that integrates history and life. If you are interested in urban change and cultural conservation, the Blue House complex is definitely not to be missed.
