The West Kowloon Cultural District is taking shape on the Hong Kong waterfront as one of the world’s largest hubs for arts and culture. Go on a behind-the-scenes tour of the four venues defining the district: M+, Hong Kong Palace Museum, Xiqu Centre and Freespace. These uniquely designed buildings will house a collection of visual culture, Forbidden City treasures, Chinese opera and contemporary live performances.

Now as HK has museums, theatres and cinemas only one thing is still missing. That is appartements and living space for its population.
And human rights lol
@@jeffreylee4208 people in france holland and spain are getting water cannoned as we speak what are you talking about?
btw check out the clip of the girl standing near the dutch protest get a water cannon to the head and hits the wall you can see her skull for standing there
@@sko1beer - No, I don't believe what you said. France, Netherlands and Spain are free countries.

I just click on your icon you know it’s true u trolling
@@jeffreylee4208 i feel the psychological pressure when i see the government no longer looking at the problems,but speak reverse and try to avoid everything.straight up outrageous.they don't feel how sensitive politics. *they* *don't* *stop* bad stuff,just *leaving* it *for* *later* .
The physical setting is stunning: the beautiful harbor, the majestic skyline across from it, and the open space (relatively speaking) that is so precious in Hong Kong, all in a fresh enchanting juxtaposition that is sure to appeal to locals and visitors alike. The buildings themselves, however, don't look so impressive in the video. Also I get the sense that the Chinese culture being showcased will be overwhelmed by the physical buildings themselves, what with the monolithic and attention-grabbing architecture, and the desire to make it all "world class". Well I have not had a chance to visit and hope I am wrong; perhaps some expertly curated exhibits or fine performance will still impress, but I must say the video does not present anything nearly convincing enough.
That's sort of Hong Kong in a nutshell. Everything clashes and there is no overarching cultural theme. Still love the place.
HK is where west and orient meet, exciting project
Absolutely needed in a city that has grossly neglected its unique and fascinating culture. However, the delays are uncalled for, neither is the sudden ushering in of Northern culture as Hong Kong culture. (i.e. palace museum)
Not to mention, the atrocious and unfamiliar/alien term "Xiqu", when Chinese Opera is perfectly fine and immensely better at attracting foreigners.
Makes sense since all major cities have a main museum or art gallery in their city, yet HK has been lacking this. Use to hit up HK every few years, but not sure we will see this any time soon with these travel restrictions 😐
Exciting times so looking forward to this and enjoying it!
I live in hong kong for 12 years. Everyday, I can feel the magic moment of hong kong. And I also learn to record hong kong by dji pocket 2.
Nice video! Hope the border will open soon so we can hop on the XRL train to Kowloon.
Although I'm not a fan of land reclamation, I must say these artist really won me over.
It’s beautiful 😻 sounds like a cool 😎 place to check out.. wait no one can travel fml 🤦♀️
If only we could travel...
Go there and get arrested for spying? I don’t think so

Amazing place. Glorious.
Nice to see Asia's booming economy! Truly an amazing pkace to explore
very beautiful spot. must visit !
they should move the coffin apartments to museum
The M+ building is some what interesting. But no surprises. Other architecture and buildings can be more
The M+ building looks like a dusty shoebox, it is kinda boring and underwhelming
Eastern Chinese? It's either East Asia or Southern Chinese.
Fun fact: people like the grass there more than the art
Well i like both
I just wish our country had this strong cultural identity and build our own projects like these
What country are you from?

Im proud to be a hong konger :)
I have a hk friend in singapore
@Hasnain Bharmal dude, ever heard of hong kong? one country 2 systems. so yea, no its not banned and we are not part of china for now, to be clear
@@YourmomsfavouritepersonYou are part of China since 1997. Read the name: *1 country* 2 systems.
@@andro7862 you would probably get hacked by other Hong mongers if they see this comment, I would delete it if I were you 😬
No. In HK, it is a real-estate project. We will see.
HK DIED WHEN CHINA ATTACKED AND ARRESTED THEM ALL
@@abarrolugos8818 and china died after the western powers
@B J most of the land are going to be sold. yes of course there are museums and theatres but they will be surrounded by overpriced restaurants, offices and hotels
cultural projects need to be funded, a balance can be found for win win , please don't keep the zero or sum backward thinking
The idea itself is very cool and the inner parts of the buildings are cool. But boii, the outer design is so boring. I was expecting more from the world-renowned architects =/
Hong Kong is a gateway linking mainland China and the western world, and I am quite sure that she will continue to prosper in the future under the "One Country, Two Systems" principle~
Wrong. One Country Two Systems is dead
Gonna wreck this for you...she isnt prospering
Can you smell fishy
M+ looks like a copy from the library buidling of Chongqing University.
"We're going to a build more land for Hong Kong"
Residents: Cool. Will there be more residential areas in this new land?
"Residential what?"
So nice to see the Chinese take control of HONG Kong. This piece of land would only have turned into high rise apartments by the greedy land owner and developers. It’s nice there is actually somewhere for the normal people of HK to go. Nice to see the power change hands from the old money grabbing guard.
Asia’s world city??? Pffff. Give me a break!
It is a true propaganda video! HK was a opened cultural city indeed but not anymore. The reputation has been tarnished by the corrupted government, freedom of speech and expression is heavily monitored, media and publications are severely censored! Would you still see poor show staged in this public venue? Every there would have been vetted and edited by the oppressive regime? Sadly HK has lost her sparkle forever!
propaganda ? YOU ARE VERY FUNNY! why don't you go to see all the homeless across the US ? Do Americans show that to you ? so are they having propaganda by not showing what the real life over there ?
Nice correction on the Indian's poor ENglish.
I thought they live in cages?
It was demolished if your talking about the Walled City
haha off state owned media doesn't show that in this all positive video. Lacking acknowledgement of the controversies surrounding this construction project that has been 20 years in the making
Sham Siu Po
It’s a beautiful spot to visit at the weekend and Freespace have put on some well programmed events there over the years but HK increasingly feels like a cultural wasteland. I moved here seven years ago and every single independent venue I’ve been to to see live music and arts has been closed, mostly due to landlord/government pressure around rent or dated licensing laws. There are several nice LCSD venues but for a place positioned as ‘Asia’s World City’ the programming is laughable. Any touring artists increasingly seem to skip the city for Singapore. The local independent music and arts scene (outside of the groundswell of yellow movement related engagement) is now in even more of a shocking state thanks to the double whammy of the protests and the pandemic. Will be years till we recover, if at all given the increasingly oppressive political climate.
all I see bunch of buildings.
Arts for smelly harbour? Haha
This is so boring
Boring for people who don't have the intelligence to understand art.
@@r.a.8618 The video isn't art... It's just showing off some boring houses
the architecture is already depressing. none of the directors even mentioned the architects who designed their buildings
@@88huwang the M+ director did mention, the whole district designed by Norman foster
@@feuerherz007 Boxes*
Who design these museums? The architecture looks terrible !!! Norman Foster would wish his name never be mentioned :)
It's not surprising that the architecture is horrible if it's in Hong Kong.
communists
Meanwhile west thinking about how to steal more of Chinese treasures.
lol nothing cultural about it. It just an ig park for the teen girls.
Comes with rioters?
Wrong. Comes with communists. All hail Mao Zedong and Xi Jinping thought
