The Mills

Design fans will love one of Hong Kong’s latest cultural hubs. The Mills is a vast former cotton mill in the New Territories town of Tsuen Wan transformed to celebrate and house the city’s creative community. It mixes business spaces, shopping and leisure, all underpinned by sustainability, in venues such as The Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textile that showcase the legacy and innovation of Hong Kong’s former textile industry. The Mills’ Shopfloor allows visitors to understand local designers before potentially buying their creations, while Fabrica is a window on how The Mills support and catalyse ideas in what they call the techstyle. The formerly empty rooftop space has also become the neighbourhood’s newest funky hangout, while a bevy of hip cafes like Koko Coffee Roastery, eateries like burger champs Honbo and an outpost of The Ale Project ensure visitors can refuel and relax.
