China State Construction to Manage Hong Kong Palace Museum Project

Recently, China State Construction Engineering (Hong Kong) Limited (a subsidiary of China State Construction), won the bid for the Hong Kong Palace Museum Project. The project is located at the West Kowloon Cultural District in Hong Kong. It is the first pavilion established by the Palace Museum with the name “Forbidden City” outside of Mainland China. The total gross floor area of the project is about 43,000 meters, and the scope of works includes a seven-floor main museum building with surrounding parking lots and supporting traffic facilities.

The Hong Kong Palace Museum Project is a key cultural project proposed in the Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. After its establishment, it will promote cooperation between the Palace Museum in Beijing and the Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Cultural District’s Administration in respect to exhibition of cultural relics, personnel training and cultural and educational exchange. This will provide an opportunity for the seven million residents of Hong Kong, and 20 million visitors traveling to Hong Kong each year, to experience the culture of the Palace Museum across time and space and improve Hong Kong’s role as a bridgehead in promoting Sino-foreign cultural exchange.
