A place is never just a collection of streets and buildings. It is where countless stories begin: some grow up here, while others carry the memory with them long after they have left. And you—what memories have you left behind in a place? This November, in response to the Muse Fest HK 2025, the Heritage of Mei Ho House invites the public to be “Here.” Between corners both familiar and unknown, rediscover the warmth of place, recall the past, reflect on the present, and imagine the future.

On 25 October, Mei Ho House transforms into a spooky playground for a special Halloween event—“Scary Night at Mei Ho House!” Become an “Eyeball Spider Hunter” and collect mysterious eyeballs to win fun prizes. Get creative at the Pumpkin Pouch DIY Workshop, or snap unforgettable photos at the giant pumpkin photo spot. The highlight of the night is the first-ever “Night Adventure at Heritage of Mei Ho House,” where you’ll navigate the dark, complete missions, and test your courage!
