#ultrahd4k #uhd #4k #4k60fps #hongkong #discoverhongkong
Welcome to our Hong Kong Walking Tour in Central and PMQ. Our video is filmed in Ultra HD 4K, crystal clear quality, as if you are actually here.
'PMQ (former Police Married Quarters, Chinese: 元創方), located in Hong Kong, the land between Aberdeen Street, Staunton Street, Hollywood Road and Shing Wong Street is a historic site containing a grade III listed building, the old Hollywood Road Police Married Quarters, now used as a mixed-use venue for arts and design.[1]
The site occupies what was originally the grounds of Queen's College, which built a school on the site in 1889. After wartime damage, the site was repurposed as quarters for married junior policemen.[2] The compound is listed as a Grade III historic building since 2010.[3] In 2014, after nearly 15 years of disuse, the building was renamed PMQ and opened to the public. The building's residential units were turned into studios, shops and offices for creative enterprises and exhibition spaces.
The mission of PMQ is to nurture local designers, provide a stage for creative happenings and create a place for visitors to experience creative lifestyle; it is a not-for-profit social enterprise supporting Hong Kong brands and innovation.[4]'

Let's go to PMQ in Hong Kong
PMQ started off in 1889 as the first school in Hong Kong to provide western education. It was severely damaged during the Second World War and started to fall into derelict till it was rebuilt in 1951 as accommodation for the police force. In 2010 it was transformed to a creative industries complex called the PMQ which sounds for Police Married Quarters.

PMQ, the so called “conservation and activation” in HK
In the previous articles I was talking about the development of arts and culture of HK. This time is the same topic, I will talk about PMQ at Sheung Wan.
PMQ is a mixed-use venue for arts and design in Sheung Wan. The full name of PMQ is Police Married Quarters. It was really a police married quarters. This place is full of history. In 1843, it was a Shing Wong Temple which is the first community project of HK. In 1876, the colony government built the former Central School. Central School was the first public school in HK. Sun Yat-sen, Henry Fok, Sir Robert Ho Tung was also the alumni of Central School.
1951, the Government rebuilt the old school to a police married quarters. Donald Tsang, former Chief Exective of HK grew up in the quarters. In 2009, Donald Tsang announced that PMQ was one of the “Cencerving Central” project.
PMQ doesn’t have epoch-making nor artistic architecture style. It keeps the structure of the police married quarters. You may feel the old HK residential style. PMQ was opened in 2014, providing 130 spaces for local designers and artists. The management also provide a rental discount to new designers and artists. In PMQ there are various of design workshop and shops, providing self-brand products, fashion, daily products and branding design etc. There are also cafes and restaurants.
To attract visitor, PMQ also invited famous brand to move in like Vivienne Tam, JOYCE, G.O.D., Bread n Butter etc. on the 5th floor, it is the taste Library operated by Craig Au Yeung Ying Chai, famous Chinese multimedia creative director. There are 3000 books of food culture and design provided by Au Yeung. In 2014, PMQ was the exhibition venue of 1600 Pandas in HK attracting a lot of visitors. But after that, the number of visitors declined and declined.
”Cater to Everyone will finally cater to no one”. This is my opinion to PMQ. The number of visitors drops every year to only 3.2M in 2016. In the 3 years, there is still deficit. And the main point is the word “deficit”. I believe there are only two direction for “conservation and activation”. The first in target on commercial profit. The other one is target on Arts and cultures atmosphere by substitution. But PMQ is in the middle, targeting to cater everybody.
PMQ provides rental discount to designers and artists so as to let them have a self-financing. It’s already a commercial operation to be designers and artists to promote their own brand and products. But the rental discount is not very attractive, at least more expensive than the old district surrounding. At the same time, the management promotes PMQ as a venue of arts and designs. The result is, visitors take PMQ as a place of arts. They take photos, enjoy the atmosphere, but seldom shop.
One example is Chocolate Rain. Chocolate Rain an international new brand of HK. It even had exhibitions in British Museum and The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and also has studios in Singapore and London. But in PMQ, Chocolate Rain finally decided to move out due to the unbalance of income and rental fee. It is the mistake of the policy of PMQ.
An interesting thing is that the rental ratio of PMQ is over 90%. But there is still deficit. It means the rental fee is too low? Or the policy of the “conservation and activation” project by commercial is a failure?
PMQ is located at Sheung Wan next to Central. It is a great area. It is a problem that PMQ can’t draw visitors. The management operates PMQ as a cultural project of “conservation and activation”, but with the target of commercial income. ”Cater to Everyone will finally cater to no one”.
But in my opinion, the major reason of the failure of PMQ is the art spirit of HK. If all HK people like and enjoy arts and design, PMQ may have lot of visitors even without any promotion and gain its commercial target. I remember when I was childhood, the only chance I contacted arts was the only 1 hour arts lesson in a week. Today the structure of our society has great change. We all may foresee that the number of jobs related to technical and service will become less and less. The remaining will only be high end technique and creative industry. But HK has lost its vision without stepping forward. The government is doing nothing. Haha! Am I too pessimistic?

Hi, my name's Rick, and I'm your personal guide. Along with MyWoWo, I'd like to welcome you to one of the Wonders of the World: PMQ.
PMQ is a modern center for the arts, culture and exhibitions, in which you can visit art galleries, craft shops, pastry shops, cafés and restaurants.
The main purpose of the center is to support the work of talented local young people and to promote cooperation among international designers.
With all these little shops, open-plan areas, temporary stands, art galleries, stores selling jewelry, accessories, clothes, shoes, designer items for the home and furniture, all in rigorously innovative style, you're bound to find something to fall in love with.
The building you're about to visit, renovated and altered between 2012 and 2014, today appears bright and modern, with large spaces and outdoor areas, but its history dates to the end of the 19th century, when the Central School, the first western-style school also for the children of rich Chinese merchants and craftsmen, was moved here...

Hong Kong PMQ: A Revitalization Initiation
Hong Kong as a growing economic finance centre has been in a cycle of tearing down old buildings in order to set up new ones. PMQ, built in 1951, is the former police married quarters and has a long historic tie with Hong Kong's history. Since 2009, it has been revitalized into a creative hub where young designers can display their products and different art galleries and stores showcase different forms and styles of art today. PMQ is a debatable place, regarding its success in revitalization and the new uses it has today. Let's see how PMQ and those working around it see this revolutionary architecture.
