Hong Kong is turning up the spotlight on its vibrant culture by recreating the set of the blockbuster film ‘Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In’. The replica aims to draw tourists from around the world, offering them an immersive experience into the cinematic portrayal of the city’s iconic Kowloon Walled City.
The original film, which gained international acclaim, delves deep into the history and stories of the Walled City, a densely populated and once largely ungoverned area in Hong Kong. By opening this replica to the public, the city hopes to celebrate its rich heritage and provide visitors with a unique glimpse into its past.
This initiative is part of Hong Kong’s broader plan to introduce more cinema-inspired tourism products. By leveraging the global appeal of its films, Hong Kong aims to showcase local culture and attract a younger generation of travelers intrigued by its dynamic blend of tradition and modernity.
Tourism officials believe that blending entertainment with cultural education will offer an engaging way for visitors to connect with Hong Kong’s history. The replica set is expected to host a variety of events, including film screenings, cultural workshops, and interactive exhibits.
As the world reopens, Hong Kong is eager to welcome tourists back to its lively streets and scenic horizons. The new film set attraction promises not only to boost tourism but also to reinforce the city’s position as a global hub for arts and culture.
