Mid-Levels is part of the Central and Western District on Hong Kong Island. The island is steep, with many streets climbing the hillside; the Central–Mid-Levels escalator links Central with the Mid-Levels and the Peak Tram runs up to The Peak. Offices, malls and old neighbourhood shops sit side by side, restaurants are packed at the office lunch hour (roughly 13:00–14:00), and with parking scarce the MTR, tram or bus is usually easier than driving. Hong Kong has more than a dozen public holidays a year; around Lunar New Year, Easter, Mid-Autumn and Christmas many businesses change their hours, and some small shops close for three to seven days over Lunar New Year.

Despite being late for my English guided tour due to heavy rain 🌧️, the staff were incredibly accommodating. They switched us to a Cantonese tour and still provided English briefings! 🗣️ It was a delightful experience, and I'm eager to visit again. ✨😊

It is very important to indicate in the details or opening hours that you are open by appointment only. It’s very simple

Superb fusion of Hong Kong's Chinese and colonial history. Although, now, protected the future use of this site remains unclear. Built in 1937 to a plan by British architect Fenton-Raven the site is the last word on colonial exuberance. The c.4700m site built over three stories has balconies with spectacular views of Hong Kong. The walls are of red brick with the roof made of the distinctive Chinese green pan and roll tiles. Although resplendent with colonial wonders Including then modern conveniences, the aesthetic also plainly incorporates many Chinese elements. Currently open for visiting a few days a year, the future may see a centre for better understanding Chinese culture being created here in the future but we will see.

Beautiful big house, unfortunately it was closed so don’t trust the website. We only took some pictures from the outside.

Built in 1937, King Yin Lei is one of Hong Kong's best examples of Chinese Renaissance architecture. It is a sprawling palace built by a Chinese woman entrepreneur at a time when both women and Chinese people were not welcome in the upper echelons of colonial Hong Kong society. And yet, ever since King Yin Lei was saved from demolition in 2007, it has remained a mystery to the public - except for a few precious days a year when its green metal gates are thrown open to visitors. The house is divided into 3 wings surrounding a central courtyard. The exterior walls are clad in red brick that stands in contrast to the curved house, but it is hard to imagine what it would have been like in the glory days of King Yin Lei, as many of its original features have been altered, including an auspicious half-moon-shaped pond that was filled in at some point in the past.
