Jockey Club Lei Yu Mun Plus, Cultural museum in Kwun Tong District, Hong Kong.
Jockey Club Lei Yu Mun Plus is a museum inside a former school building in this port neighborhood, telling local history through photographs, objects, and written records. The space displays how earlier residents made their living through different trades and what changes transformed the area over time.
The building was originally Hoi Bun School, opened to provide education for children in this growing village community. The school shaped community life for over a century before closing in 2008, after which it was repurposed as a museum.
The collection reveals how residents of Lei Yue Mun earned their living through fishing, small-scale manufacturing, and trade across the generations. Objects on display and photographs show the daily routines and social bonds that held this harbor community together.
The museum is near MTR Yau Tong station and takes about 15 minutes to reach on foot, passing through the harbor-side neighborhood. The space is small and easily explored without planning, though checking ahead for workshops or temporary exhibits can help you make the most of your visit.
Quarrying was once the main reason people settled and prospered here, and the museum preserves photographs and tools from that era that is often forgotten today. If you look carefully, you can still see traces of this industry in the rocks and landscape of the neighborhood.
