Sitting on a lush hillside in Lai Chi Kok (and just a few minutes’ walk away from MTR Mei Foo Station), Jao Tsung-I Academy is a shining example of Hong Kong’s revitalisation efforts done right. This large-scale, century-old compound boasts a colourful history. First built as a customs station during the Qing dynasty, it later became labourers’ quarters, a quarantine station, prison, hospital for infectious diseases, and after that, a psychiatric rehabilitation centre. Now, the site serves as a cultural landmark that hosts thematic exhibitions, workshops, seminars, festive events, and educational programmes within its tranquil grounds. Enjoy the food, buy souvenirs and stay overnight at The Heritage Lodge to enhance the experience at this historic site.
