Crown Diamond Art Museum, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon

Walking into the afternoon in Tsim Sha Tsui, I strolled slowly along Canton Road, passing through crowds, buses, and trucks, until the golden facade of China Hong Kong City came into view. I've been here many times, but today's destination held a certain anticipation—the Crown Diamond Art Museum. The entrance resembled a typical retail store, making it easy to miss the museum. Inside, the lighting was soft, and the diamonds in the display cases sparkled like stardust in the air. A guide greeted me with a friendly smile, and the light journey officially began. The museum has two floors. The guide led me through a mysterious passage to the first floor. The first item I saw was a Coca-Cola diamond handbag. The red and white color scheme was reinterpreted by diamonds, both familiar and somewhat absurd. Further on were diamond golf clubs. The light shone on the shafts, reflecting a cool glow. I imagined someone actually using one to tee off—they'd probably be nervous. To avoid that nervousness, you can also try it out with a regular club. Next came diamond sunglasses, diamond watches, diamond phone cases… each one made me stop in my tracks. They weren't the kind of items so expensive they were unapproachable, but rather they challenged the limits of everyday objects. What would it be like if everything in your life were replaced with diamonds? At the end of the first floor, the most talked-about exhibit appeared—a diamond toilet. It sat quietly in its display case, its surface densely studded with diamonds. At that moment, I suddenly felt that the soul of this museum wasn't "luxury," but rather "daring to dream and daring to do." The exhibits on the second floor were completely different in style and more story-driven. Walking up the stairs, historical photos of the Guanlinglong brand hung on the walls. Upon reaching the second floor, Dr. Shen Yunlong stood in the center of the exhibition area, his warm smile welcoming everyone. He stood next to a diamond guitar—the world's most valuable diamond guitar, the light shining on its body like a frozen starry sky. Dr. Shen personally explained the guitar's design philosophy and inlay techniques, and shared his story of how he went from a small subdivided flat to where he is today. His tone was simple, yet every word carried power. Next came another guitar, the one with the most gemstones in the world, showcasing the Michael Jackson family rings. At that moment, I suddenly felt very close to the history of popular culture. The brilliance of the diamonds shone on the rings, illuminating those stage memories that once shook the world. He walked to the diamond scepter, which from a distance looked like the center of attention. Dr. Shen explained that this scepter was not just a work of art; it was also the exclusive scepter of Miss Asia—symbolizing glory and stage brilliance. Upon closer inspection, the diamonds and gemstones intertwined under the lights, creating an almost mythical luster. In that instant, images of Miss Asia's coronation on television flashed through my mind: lights, applause, smiles, tears… carrying the collective memory of Hong Kong. Further on was a diamond lipstick case. Small, but so exquisitely crafted that you couldn't help but look closer. That kind of delicacy could only be achieved by someone truly passionate about craftsmanship. As I left the museum, the night in Tsim Sha Tsui was already lit up, creating a familiar scene before my eyes. In this bustling city, there was still such a dazzling place, so full of stories. #BigJlovesTravel #ilovetravel #traveller #enjoymylife #foodies #travelislife #jasontai1106 #jason_tai1106 #HongKong #TsimShaTsui #Kowloon #ShenYunLong #aaronshum #GuanLingLongDiamondArtMuseum #ipshk
