Characteristic
Occupying almost the whole block in a secluded corner of the district, Tsuen Wan Town Hall has two sides facing main roads, namely, Yuen Tun Circuit and Tai Ho Road - one side facing Tsuen Wan Magistrates' Courts Building and the other side facing a car park.
As the only building illuminated by soft yellow bounced light, the square complex looks like a jewel box reflecting the moon beams in solitude at night.
As a town hall, it is an ideal venue for performing arts, ceremonies, exhibitions, conferences, seminars, receptions and training classes. Its beautiful foyer has a ceiling height of 4.13 m. The activities hall is specially designed to allow flexibility in its usage. Its retractable seating platform and demountable stage make different layouts possible. It is a highly versatile venue suitable for holding a great variety of functions.
