Even though Kung Fu legend Bruce Lee was a US-born star, he considered Hong Kong his adapted home where he had a two-story, 5699-square-foot town house in an upscale leafy Kowloon suburb.  Recently in the press talk of turning his former mansion into a museum has come to light with Billionaire philanthropist tycoon Yu Panglin. 

Turning the Lee’s former mansion into a Bruce Lee Museum would give belated recognition to one of the city’s most famous sons. Similar to other memorial sites to global stars, that includes the Beatles Story in Liverpool and Elvis Presley’s Graceland mansion in Tennessee.

Bruce Lee is known both by martial arts adherents and movie buffs the world over for popularizing the Kung Fu cinematic genre, and helping usher in a golden age of Hong Kong film in the late ’60s.
