Guide To The Mills Cultural Complex In Hong Kong

From the 1950’s, The Mills played a part in Hong Kong’s booming textile industry, all the way through to the 1980’s when the cotton industry began its demise. The Mills finally ceased operation in 2008 and was turned into warehouses, but since 2014 revitalization efforts have been underway to transform the former cotton mills into a cultural complex with a business incubator, experiential retail, and a non-profit cultural institution. In collaboration with CHAT, the Centre for Heritage, Arts, and Textile, a permanent exhibition will also be on display to tell the story of Hong Kong’s textile industrial history and the role of The Mills originally, as the revitalized institution looks to nurture creativity in Hong Kong for the future.
