Shenzhen's New Museums Attract Hongkongers with Cultural Offerings
Shenzhen has recently opened a series of large-scale cultural facilities, including the Shenzhen Natural History Museum, which features 35,200 square meters of exhibition space. This museum showcases 4.6 billion years of Earth's evolution, including dinosaur fossils and rare meteorites. These attractions are drawing visitors from Hong Kong, such as Raymond Leung, who visited with friends to explore the museum's offerings. The trend indicates a shift in Hong Kong residents' spending habits, moving from dining to cultural tourism. The museum's permanent displays, such as dinosaur fossils, offer a unique experience compared to Hong Kong, where such exhibits are not always available.
