Absolutely exquisite museum, from the building to the collection it's all wonderful. The museum shows and tells about the history, culture and arts of HK and the southern China region. The opera exhibition was the best in my opinion.

Wonderful and eye opening place, great to learn more about the actual area rather than just stick to the all-inclusive resort where you're so much removed from the reality

My boyfriend is a total boat buff and we went here and it looked like he was in heaven. It was pretty interesting for a non-boat-lover so I can only imagine how cool it is if you're in the know!

I love learning a bit about the indigenous people when I go on holiday and this is a fantastic facility, so informative. The exhibits are great and the staff so knowledgeable.

Not in Mumbai but a good distance out of the city are these quite spectacular caves. They are now a World Heritage Site and date back to the 2nd century BC. The most amazing thing to remember is that the caves where carved by hand with a chisel.
