The focal point of this ornate building in the heart of Chinatown is the Dr. Henry Fok Cultural Hall; the column details and paintings include 561 dragons and 40 phoenixes. It's modeled after the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. The center houses a cultural museum, an art gallery, a crafts store, an herbal-medicine store, and a 330-seat Chinese restaurant.
