New Cultural Landmarks
122. We are committed to developing Hong Kong into a most-cherished international metropolis through cultural and sports development. Blending local traditional characteristics with international elements, the West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD) is becoming the new cultural landmark of Hong Kong. The two museums in the WKCD, i.e. the M+ museum of modern and contemporary visual arts and the Hong Kong Palace Museum showcasing invaluable Chinese artefacts, are scheduled for completion and commissioning in the next two years. Together with the Hong Kong Museum of Arts which was reopened last year after expansion, the three museums will turn a new page in Hong Kong’s visual arts landscape. Featured by distinctive collection and curatorial style, they will definitely offer a fruitful cultural journey to locals and visitors.
Kai Tak Sports Park
123. When completed, the Kai Tak Sports Park will be the largest sports facility in Hong Kong. Based on the current works progress, it is expected to be completed in 2023. The Government will foster the collaboration between the Park’s operator and the sports sector to fully utilise the state-of-the-art facilities of the Park, so as to further promote sports in the community, support elite sports development and make Hong Kong a hub for major sports events, while nurturing more sports talents for Hong Kong and enhancing their professional standards.
