What’s hiding behind the vintage green mailboxes at 88 Staunton Street? 📬👀
Living in Central and the Mid-Levels isn’t just about sleek skylines and bustling modern streets—it’s about the incredible stories tucked away right around the corner! Just a few minutes’ walk from Hanlun Habitats, the Tong Lau Experience Room lets you step straight into a mid-20th-century Hong Kong time capsule. 🕰️🇭🇰
Dating back from the late 19th to the mid-20th century, Tong Lau tenement buildings shaped the streetscapes of old Hong Kong with their signature overhanging balconies, ground-floor shops, and unique blend of East-meets-West architecture.
Take a look through our photos of the exhibit! From the preserved street-level calligraphy pillar and terrazzo staircase to the checkered floor tiles, retro bunk beds, abacus, and traditional wooden clogs, it’s a nostalgic love letter to how generations of Hong Kongers used to live.
💬 Tell us in the comments: Have you ever walked past 88 Staunton Street and noticed the old calligraphy on the pillar, or used any of the vintage household items in these photos?
