During my visit, I discovered that there are free guided tours available, with retired firefighters explaining the exhibits and history, providing a deeper understanding of Hong Kong's firefighting history. It's very educational.

The Alexander Grantham was once the main marine fireboat of the Hong Kong Fire Services Department and participated in many firefighting and marine rescue operations.

"Golden Hung Fire Wheel Exhibition Hall FUN DAY" 🧯 Yesterday, my mum took her piggy bank to participate in the "Golden Hung Fire Wheel Exhibition Hall and FUN DAY"🧯. I was thinking of participating in the second session of "#firefighters take you on a fireboat🚢", but when I got there, I found over a hundred people queuing up to enter the fireboat to visit😱 Since we were participating in the open day for the first time, we didn't think there would be so many people, but we wanted to go in, so we continued to queue 😅 But after a few minutes of queue, it rained heavily😰, many people did not bring umbrellas ☔️ to the pavilion to take shelter from the rain, so the queue reduced a little, while a staff came out to say sorry, because too many people, to have someone leave to arrange to put people in, asked us to consider 2 o'clock back to see the "#fireboat spray show💦", do not get wet. Mother and pork bun chose to continue to queue in the heavy rain ☔️, I did not expect the pork bun to stand obediently, worthy of praise 👍🏻. After a while, the sun ☀️ came back, you can comfortably watch the boats on the sea to pass the time, finally queued for more than an hour, finally entered, in time to see the "#fireboat spray show💦" in a higher place, yeah🤩 The fireboat came over in the sea spraying water from a distance, it was very spectacular, my mother was the first time to see, the piggy bank was very excited😆, almost opened to the exhibition hall opposite the sea, the boat has musicians playing music🎶, very atmospheric🤩 After seeing the water fountain, we immediately went up to the queue to visit the "#pilot", because this place is not usually open to visit, must go 🤣 During the queue, I saw the fire boat with water spraying on its way back. The piggy bank was watching the fire boat while listening to the lower-level band playing, and was so happy that I danced😆 Since the stairs to the "#cabin" are relatively narrow, it is not easy to go up, so it took a little time to walk up 😅. When I entered, I saw a big rudder. I couldn't wait to try to be a little captain🤭. There is a brief explanation by the staff in the "#pilot". After listening, we went down from the other side and found that it was more difficult to go down than up. Finally, the staff took the initiative to help carry the piggy pack down. It was really courteous🥰 Since we had already visited the "#Golden Hong Fire Extinguishing Wheel Exhibition Hall" before, we didn't visit it again This activity is very attractive to children, because they can put on firefighter outfits🧯 and become little firefighters👨🏻‍🚒. So the queue is actually quite a lot, but there are staff to help take photos, greatly speed up the photo 📷 time, worthy of praise 👍🏻 Originally, the staff helped the piggy pack his top and equipment to take pictures, but the piggy pack saw the firefighter's pants 👖 and shoes 🥾 next to him and said he had to wear them. Fortunately, the staff gave him a change😂, and finally the piggy pack really wore all the equipment and turned into a little firefighter to take pictures, very cute😍 After taking pictures, I saw the "#Fireboat Artifact Restoration Demonstration🔔" next to it. The staff said they tried to use a gentle method to restore the artifacts. The piggy bank was surprised to see the transparent jelly gently rub the fire bell🔔, and it turned into blue jelly😦 However, before we finished watching, we saw that the other side was about to start the "#Fire Investigation Dog Show🐶", so we hurried over 💨💨💨 The staff first took away the fire dog🐶, selected a child to store the "chemical items🧪" in one of the ice cream cones, and finally brought the fire dog🐶 out to see if he could find it successfully. Although the performance was simple, when the fire dog 🐶 managed to find it out, everyone applauded 👏🏻, the children were very happy to watch 🥳 After watching the performance, I could have taken a picture with the fire dog, but unfortunately it turned out that the dragon had been cut off during the performance 😅, keychain DIY was full, and finally we played the puzzle stall and left. Leaving the exhibition hall, I found the queue twice as long as when we went, very exaggerated, next time there is an open day really have to go earlier 😅 #parent-child #parent-child activity #Gloang Hong Fire Wheel Exhibition Hall #Open Day #Queue #Firefighters Photo #Sprinkler Show #Full-time Mom #4y2m #Pig Bao's Happy Daily Life

Recently I came The exhibition hall of the "Glengarry Alexander" allows you to see the history of the flagship of the Hong Kong Fire Services Department's fireboat team. It has participated in the firefighting work and maritime rescue missions of countless major ships and coastal fires, and witnessed the history of Hong Kong's firefighting! The exhibition hall covers an area of ​​over a thousand square feet and displays unique firefighting relics, which is perfect for the whole family to gain more extracurricular knowledge!

Summer vacation is so hot, with children, visit museums and the like is best, can broaden your knowledge and learn knowledge other than books This time I chose to visit the Fire Extinguisher at the Ge Liang Hung, which has one more bridge in Quarry Bay Park. It takes a while to walk from Pacific Station via the shopping mall, but you can walk towards the seaside, 15 minutes away This fire extinguishing wheel has been decommissioned and made into an exhibition hall without a fee. Looking at the fire-fighting work at sea in those days, it was really heroic. There is not much access to the fire wheel to visit, so this exhibition hall is full of historical value. After visiting the fire wheel, you can also enjoy the view of the Victoria Harbor. There are not many people along the way, and there are many wooden benches. It is much cleaner and more comfortable than the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront. If the kids are noisy and want to play, they can walk back to Quarry Bay Park and play

The Grantham Fireboat Exhibition Hall is located in the Eastern District of Hong Kong Island, about a 10-15 minute walk from Tai Koo MTR Station. You can enjoy the view of Victoria Harbour along the seaside park and board the fireboat to experience the arduous task of firefighting at that time. Children can also take photos and relive the historical missions of the fireboats in the past. 10 points recommendation. #Local Tour

I visited Taikoo Shing earlier, and of course I visited the nearby Fireboat Alexander Grantham Exhibition Hall! The "Alexander Grantham" is indeed of great historical significance and worth visiting. Both adults and children will gain knowledge. I admired different firefighting relics and gained a deeper understanding of Hong Kong's maritime rescue work!

People may have seen more firefighting on land, but rarely have the chance to come into contact with firefighting at sea. This museum displays objects and history of firefighting at sea. The most attractive one is a retired fireboat for visitors to board and experience the actual firefighting at sea. #Hong Kong Good Places #LocalTours#A quick guide to good places to go with kids#Exhibitions where you can take great photos#Good places to go with kids#Good places to go in Hong Kong#Good places to go in the hot summer

A hands-on experience at the Fireboat Alexander Grantham Exhibition Hall! This place gave me a thrilling firefighting trip! 🔥🚒 The Fireboat Alexander Grantham Exhibition Hall is a museum dedicated to the history and culture of firefighting. When I stepped into the hall, I immediately felt the bravery and professional skills of the firefighting heroes. Various firefighting equipment, models and real objects of the Grantham fireboat, as well as the stories and achievements of firefighters are displayed here. 🔥🚒💪 I visited various exhibitions in the museum, and each one made me understand more about the importance and challenges of firefighting. I saw firefighting equipment from different periods and regions, from traditional buckets to modern fire extinguishers, which demonstrated the advancement of technology and the evolution of firefighting and disaster prevention. There are also films and photos showing the brave actions and rescue missions of firefighters, which makes me respect their hard work and dedication. 🎥🚒👨‍🚒 The most exciting thing is the interactive area in the museum. There is a simulated fire-fighting training ground here where I can put on firefighting clothing, pick up a fire extinguisher, and experience the process and techniques of fire-fighting firsthand. This made me feel the pressure and challenges that firefighters face in a fire scene, and it also made me understand the importance of fire safety and self-protection. 🔥👩‍🚒💦 #Grantham Fireboat Exhibition Hall #Fire Exhibition #History and Culture #Safety Education #Fire Fighting #Greater Bay Area Attractions

The Fire Extinguishing Wheel Exhibition Hall of HMS Ge Lianghong I had been wanting to visit for a long time, seeing that my husband was on holiday on Wednesday, so I had to catch him and visit with me. Transportation Guide - Although looking at the map this exhibition hall is closer to Pacific City. But I still. It is recommended that you walk along the waterfront promenade from, the park opposite the Hong Kong Funeral Home. Because you can enjoy, the beautiful scenery along the way, and feel the fresh feeling of the sea breeze, in my foot distance, only walked 50 minutes. Local Sights - A visit to this pavilion is meaningful to learn about the historical origin of this fire wheel. While watching their short introductions in different languages. Hotel - Warm reminder There are no washrooms in the exhibition hall, you have to go to the public toilets in the park, which are very clean and hygienic. Toilet paper and soap are provided. Food and Restaurants - Recently I have to walk 20 minutes to the restaurants in City Plaza. It is recommended that you bring a small amount of food and drinks and sit on a park bench in the park near the exhibition hall and eat while enjoying the sea view. The environment is quiet and quiet. On Wednesday, January 11, 2023, I didn’t need to make an appointment, I just walked there by myself. Free admission. Nearby shopping malls -- #Pacific City

The Fire Extinguishing Wheel Exhibition Hall of HMS Ge Lianghong ➡️ This exhibition hall is closer to City Plaza Transportation Strategy - Choosing transportation can also have a variety of options. 1⃣️ Since it is close to City Plaza, you can choose to walk from City Plaza, about 20 minutes. 2⃣️ You can take a car to Hong Kong to find a funeral home, and then walk to about 50 minutes from that place Local Sights - Personally recommend walking across from the funeral home, with scenic waterfront promenade along the way. Food and Drinks - The nearest place to eat is to go to Pacific City. You can also bring your own small amounts of food and drinks and eat at the nearby park. Shopping Guide - This is an exhibition hall, not a shopping place, so there are nothing to buy. It also does not offer any finery about the pavilion for sale, purely for visits. Toilets can be found in the public toilets in the park near the exhibition hall. The hygiene situation can also have toilet paper and soap supply, the floor is not wet. We are still worried about being able to walk to City Plaza, the washrooms inside. #Golden Hong Fire Extinguishing Wheel Exhibition Hall

Today I recommend this exhibition hall, free visit frame, about the workshop, want to participate friends, remember to make an appointment, draw lot frame, I have to attend the workshop at the beginning and middle of the year, 2 times did not win, very full. I don't know if you are interested in participating. Because this workshop allows you to learn different fire-fighting knowledge. It really makes sense. Before boarding the ship 🚢, you have seen a brief introduction to the history of this 🚢, there are different exhibition items, of course, this is all introducing the equipment, supplies, tools, instruments, and firefighters' uniforms, ranks. Not to mention, to the exhibition, to know the fire extinguishing 🚢 ship, many things are preparation, sea fire extinguishing, observation instruments, etc., indispensable. #NatureBeauty #Decembervlog #HongKongGood Places #LocalTravel #FamilyGood Places
