Hong Kong Launches Movie Magic to Boost Tourism

Lights, camera, action! Hong Kong is rolling out the red carpet for travelers by transforming its iconic cinema into real-world adventures. The city just unveiled a life-sized replica of the gritty Kowloon Walled City set from the hit film Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In, blending blockbuster thrills with cultural storytelling.

Local officials say this is just the start: they're planning film-themed walking tours, pop-up installations, and behind-the-scenes exhibits to showcase Hong Kong’s ‘vibrant street culture and cinematic history’. Imagine snapping selfies where your favorite chase scenes were filmed!

With 34 million visitors in 2023 and growing post-pandemic interest in authentic experiences, this move could make Hong Kong the ultimate backdrop for both movie buffs and culture explorers. As one tourism insider put it: ‘Why watch stories when you can live them?’
