The dining environment and food are great, and the service staff's attitude is also good. It's a pity that there are too many gondolas in the sea view part, but this is not the hotel's fault.

The concept of the Hong Kong National Palace Museum is a bit like the South Campus of the National Palace Museum in Chiayi, but the scale is much larger. There are many collections from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and occasionally there are great special exhibitions!
