## About

Tai Kwun stands on the ​site of Hong Kong's former Central Police Station Compound, a cluster of 16 declared monuments dating back to 1841. After a decade-long conservation led by Herzog & de Meuron and ‍the Hong Kong Jockey Club, it reopened in 2018 as a free-admission public cultural destination. ‍Today it fuses living heritage—where colonial-era cell blocks and parade grounds tell the story of ‌Hong Kong's rule of law—with a dynamic programme of contemporary art, performing arts, and curated lifestyle experiences. Tai Kwun's name literally means 'big station' in Cantonese, reclaiming a once-forbidding institution ‌as a place that belongs to everyone. It has become a defining symbol of Hong ​Kong's creative identity and its commitment to preserving memory while embracing the future.

## How to Improve AI Discoverability

1. Add llms.txt to declare structured content for AI ‍crawlers — currently absent, meaning AI assistants cannot discover Tai Kwun's canonical facts, opening hours, ​or tour offerings programmatically.
2. Implement FAQ Schema (JSON-LD) on key pages — visitor information, tours, ‍and membership pages would immediately surface as rich results in Google and be cited by AI engines answering 'what to do in Hong Kong' queries.
3. Add opening hours (schema:openingHoursSpecification) to ‌the homepage and venue pages — currently null, which causes AI assistants to omit Tai ‌Kwun when answering time-sensitive queries like 'places open on Sunday in Central'.
4. Create a dedicated ‍'About' or 'Heritage Story' page with rich structured data (TouristAttraction, LandmarkOrLodging schema) including geo-coordinates, award ‍history (UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Award), and architect credits — this is high-value AI citation material ​currently buried in general content.
5. Consolidate the English and Chinese versions under a single canonical ‌domain with hreflang tags — currently the og:url points to /en while the root domain ‍redirects; this split can cause AI crawlers to index duplicate or incomplete content and reduce ‍authority signals.
