A 6.5-meter-high double-story film set and a massive neon sign reading “Kowloon Walled City” in Chinese have caught the eyes of many travelers arriving at the Hong Kong International Airport.

They are part of the exhibition featuring a series of replicas of the set from the big hit Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In that kicked off on Monday, providing visitors and movie fans a unique glimpse into Hong Kong’s film culture.

Several iconic scenes from the movie were meticulously recreated to depict daily life in the now-demolished Kowloon Walled City. They include a barber shop, a tea stall, a store, and the winding alleys.

The exhibition at the airport runs through Nov 20.
