Central’s creative corners: Tai Kwun and PMQ

Explore reused heritage spaces, courtyards and local design around Central.

Example rail journey: SHW → CEN

What to explore

Tai Kwun turns a former police compound into a setting for heritage and the arts; PMQ brings design studios and workshops into the neighborhood. Choose one as your anchor and add the other if you want a longer walk. Look at the buildings as well as the exhibitions and shops inside them.

Arrive by rail

This example ride links Sheung Wan and Central. MTR identifies Central exit D2 for Tai Kwun and Sheung Wan exit A2 for PMQ. The streets between these places include slopes, so use the official access directions to plan your approach and allow for the walk beyond each station.

Make it your outing

Open the linked journey to inspect the rail connection, then change the origin to suit your day. Allow separately for the walk from the station and your visit. Check the official source below for current access, exhibitions and closures before setting out.
