Man Lam Rd, Sha Tin. Signed 600m walk from Sha Tin or Che Kung Temple KCR stations. Mon & Wed-Sat 10am-6pm, Sun & public holidays 10am-7pm.

$10, Wed free. The Hong Kong Heritage Museum is the SAR’s largest museum, though it’s really of more interest for its travelling shows - which tend to showcase excellent and informative collections of Chinese art and historical artefacts - than its lacklustre permanent exhibitions. The best of these is the Cantonese Opera Heritage Hall, full of flamboyant costumes, embroidered shoes, stage props, and mock-ups of traditional stage sets. The Gallery of Chinese Art features fine Chinese ceramics, bronze, jade, lacquerware and stone sculptures; while the New Territories Heritage Hall has archeological remains dating back to 4000 BC, accounts of Hong Kong’s various Chinese ethnic groups, plus information about ancestral worship, feasts and festivals.
