Chow Tai Fook’s “Icon on Canton” Flagship Brings a 2.1 Metre Gold Ginkgo and Heritage Pavilion to Hong Kong
CHOW TAI FOOK has opened its first global flagship on Canton Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, a “Home of Chow Tai Fook” conceived as both a showcase of nearly a century of Chinese jewellery heritage and a new benchmark for Chinese luxury retail worldwide.
A Landmark On Canton Road
The new flagship occupies a prime corner on Canton Road, one of Hong Kong’s most iconic luxury shopping corridors, and soft opened earlier this year before its official unveiling in mid May 2026. The store is framed as “ICON on Canton”, signaling its role as the brand’s reference address globally and a physical embodiment of CHOW TAI Fook’s ambition to present Chinese fine jewellery on an international stage.
Conceived as the “Home of Chow Tai Fook,” the flagship blends archival storytelling, contemporary design and immersive experiences to “showcase the beauty of China to the world through jewellery.”
Timeless Red Façade And Gold Ginkgo Tree
Externally, the building is wrapped in a striking “Timeless Red” façade, a deep red shade that recalls traditional Chinese auspicious colours while giving the store a strong street presence among its luxury neighbours on Canton Road. Anchoring the entrance is a Gold Ginkgo Tree, described in official materials as an iconic presence:
Height: 2.1 metres Width: 2.3 metres Adorned with approximately 3,500 pure gold leaves Total gold weight around 40 kilograms Created by nearly 50 master craftsmen using advanced 3D printing and traditional goldsmithing, the tree is intended as a symbol of blessings and happiness, referencing the ginkgo’s cultural associations with longevity and resilience.
It functions as both sculpture and brand emblem, greeting visitors as they step inside. Heritage Pavilion Past And Present In One Space Just inside the entrance sits the Heritage Pavilion, a dedicated space that brings CHOW TAI Fook’s creations from different eras together in one narrative.
Displays combine: Historic pieces and archival designs High jewellery and contemporary collections Storytelling about the brand’s founding in 1929, craftsmanship, and milestones across Greater China and global markets The pavilion is designed as a bridge between past and future, giving visitors a sense of continuity and evolution in the house’s design language and techniques, rather than presenting heritage as a static museum separate from the retail experience.
