Opened in 2014, Liang Yi Museum is a private museum of design, craftsmanship and heritage objects. The upper three floors hold antique collections from the 1880s to the 1960s. It also hosts exhibitions, talks and events. The nine shop spaces on the ground floor are also the owned by the museum, and director Lynn Fung has welcomed galleries and retail concepts to operate there and support design talent, so visitors can move from admiring rare objects upstairs to starting their own collection downstairs.

Man Mo Temple is an iconic part of Hollywood Road and is a Grade I historic building. Built in 1847, it’s a Taoist place of worship for the civil god Man Cheong and martial god Kwan Tai. Whether you choose to step inside and pray with incense or simply admire the traditional architecture from afar, it’s a must-see site when in the area and serves as a striking reminder of a bygone era—especially as it’s such a stark contrast against its modern surroundings.
