Enhanced Interactive Exhibition Lands in AIRSIDE in Kai Tak to Promote Movie Tourism

and Encourage Local Cultural Exploration

 

Phase 1 of the “Live out the Cinematic Charm of Hong Kong” Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In Exhibition, which debuted at Hong Kong International Airport in October, was wellreceived by locals and visitors alike. It has been relocated to Kowloon City, the setting of the movie, and today marks the start of Phase 2 (until 13 April 2025) of the Exhibition. The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB), Nan Fung Group AIRSIDE, and the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA), together with the filmmakers, have created an expanded exhibition that will allow visitors to fully immerse themselves in the movie sets. Several all-new photo spots and Easter eggs shots that were not included in the movie have been added, and visitors can take home movie-related merchandise, ranging from nostalgic snacks and toys to film collectibles from new stalls at the Exhibition. Locals and visitors are invited to explore Hong Kong through the lens of the movie and discover new travel experiences.

  • An enhanced immersive cinematic experience: The exhibition traverses alleys and indoor locations of the original Kowloon Walled City, allowing visitors to step into the movie sets and experience the lives of the former residents. The movie production team has integrated dialogues between the actors and sound effects in various scenes to create a multi-dimensional and immersive experience for visitors.
  • Five new photo spots: In addition to iconic scenes from the movie, such as the Barber Shop, Tea Stall, Back Alley and Living Quarters, five new must-visit photo spots have been added. Visit the life-like sets for great photos at the Comic Stall, Tailor Shop, Bonesetting (dit da) Clinic, Shoemaker's Shop and Dental Clinic to travel back in time to the 80s and experience life in the Walled City. All the props, set designs and even the price tags were modelled on historical pieces from the 80s era to create an authentic experience for visitors.
