Plan for HK$336 million Chinese culture centre in Hong Kong gets initial go-ahead


Hong Kong lawmakers have given the initial go-ahead on a HK$336 million (US$43 million) project to convert part of former British army barracks in Tsim Sha Tsui into an activity centre to promote Chinese culture, history and achievements.

Two legislators raised concerns about the price tag although all of those who spoke at a panel meeting on Monday supported the need for a centre designated for enhancing the public’s knowledge of Chinese culture and promoting patriotic education.
