Why do Hong Kong stars love to hold concerts at the Coliseum?

In this airtight column-free space of 1,680 square meters and accommodating 12,500 seats, music, applause, memories, and emotions have been stored, brewed, and distributed since 1983. She has witnessed the birth, rise, and even decline of generations of superstars. She has experienced the struggles, struggles, and even failures of batches of passers-by. It has become a sacred place for Chinese concerts, not only because it is one of the most well-equipped multi-purpose performance venues in Asia, not only because of its unique shape of wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, it is a famous landmark in Hong Kong; the reason why the Hong Kong Coliseum is It is the Hong Kong Coliseum, not least because of its irreplaceable history and the collective memories and emotions left by countless people.

The Coliseum was renamed the Hong Kong Coliseum. In 1884, the Hong Kong government began to reclaim the sea at Hung Hom Bay. At that time, Hung Hom Bay was not called Hung Hom Bay. The project was very long, until one day 25 years later, in 1909, a construction worker was digging a well at the construction site as usual, and suddenly the water that gushes out of the well turned out to be vermilion red. The contractor who believed in Feng Shui was very nervous and immediately called in Feng Shui experts for "diagnosis". After investigation, the Feng Shui master attributed the vermilion well water to the damage to Hong Kong's dragon veins due to the groundbreaking, and the flowing well water was actually dragon blood. On the other hand, the well water was sent for testing, and scientific diagnostic results showed that the reason why the well water turned red was due to the presence of iron sulfide and mercury compounds. No matter which reason you believe, because of the red well water, this area has been called Hung Hom ever since.

In the 1960s, the Hong Kong Urban Council planned to build an indoor stadium that met international standards in Hong Kong, and was interested in finding land for construction on Hong Kong Island. But for a long time, no suitable site was found on Hong Kong Island. Later, the Urban Council took a fancy to this piece of reclaimed land in Hung Hom Bay, Kowloon. It was located next to the Hung Hom Railway Station, which was under construction at the time, and next to the Hong Kong Cross-Harbour Tunnel, which runs through Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula. It is close to the large-scale railway transportation system and the undersea tunnel, with convenient transportation, making it an ideal location.

The Hong Kong Coliseum is commonly known as the Coliseum because it is located in Hung Hom District, Hong Kong.

April 27, 1983, was the birth day of the Hong Kong Coliseum. That day, the Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Edward Youde, stood in front of the Hong Kong Stadium, which looked like an inverted pyramid, and presided over the opening ceremony. The opening of the Coliseum was a major event in Hong Kong and became the focus of the city. TV stations broadcast the entire opening ceremony live. Some media even called the Hong Kong Coliseum "one of the most unique construction projects in the world."

In recent decades, Hong Kong has become Asia’s largest star-making factory, and the Hong Kong Coliseum plays an indispensable role. Most Chinese singers regard singing in the Coliseum as a verification of their strength, and all superstars have left their mark here. The Coliseum has gone through more than 20 years, but like an old man who is well versed in the world, he has witnessed the growth and changes of generations of singers and fans, and shared their joys and sorrows.
