Because of its varied history, the House of Stories certainly tells the story of the local culture. It is in stark contrast to the modern and contemporary hotels in Wan Chai Hong Kong and thus, it provides a wonderful opportunity for tourists as well as locals to immerse themselves in the local architecture and the history of the area. For instance, visitors to the House of Stories will be able to see firewood chimneys and the original wooden ceiling built in 1922. Therefore, it is considered a community museum where visitors will walk be able to explore the different stories the House has to tell in a very creative manner. For instance, they will encounter the Book Shelves of the House where the neighbours exchanged books, recall memories of the House being a liquor store and see where wine jars were preserved.
