Hundreds of residents and visitors gathered on Monday morning to witness the exhibition’s launch at the airport’s arrival hall, which showcases a replica of a 6.5-metre-high (22-foot-high) double-storey set from Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In.
The installation, which showcases key scenes from the movie, has already become a popular spot for travellers to pose for selfies.
Officiated at the opening ceremony, Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu said authorities would tailor new tourism resources and products to suit travellers’ tastes.
The government would also actively promote an “anywhere in Hong Kong” tourism concept to provide more in-depth, unique travel and event-based experiences, he added.
