The much-anticipated Kai Tak Sports Park was unveiled earlier this year to wide acclaim. In addition to the state-of-the-art Kai Tak Stadium, this multipurpose venue is a destination for dining, shopping, entertainment and community engagement.

The Hong Kong government has poured HK$.6.5 billion into making the city’s waterfront accessible to all, and with the opening of the East Coast Boardwalk , you’ll soon be able to walk the entire northern shoreline of Hong Kong island, from Shek Tong Tsui in Western District to Shau Kei Wan in the east. With ample spots along the trail to play, rest and admire the view, this is a wonderful, leisurely way to take in Hong Kong’s spectacular harbour.

Hong Kong’s museum of visual culture opened at the end of 2021, but with new exhibitions taking place all the time, there’s always something exciting to discover. Comprising 33 galleries displaying contemporary art and design from Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland and the rest of the world, M+ is a day trip in its own right. Make time to stop at one of the many nearby al fresco restaurants to take in the waterfront views.
Hong Kong was seized by panda fever last year when Ying Ying, Ocean Park’s giant panda, gave birth to twins. Since then, these adorable black-and-white balls of fluff – affectionately known as “Elder Sister” and “Younger Brother” – have inspired panda-themed toys, menus, art and souvenirs all across the city. They were officially presented to the public in March, drawing thousands of visitors in a single day.
In a city where a new skyscraper seems to pop up every month, Tai Kwun is a celebration of Hong Kong’s heritage. The former site of the Central Police Station and prison dates back to the 1860s, and was reopened in 2018 following a painstaking revitalisation that has retained the best of the past. Offering a fascinating glimpse into Hong Kong’s history, this sprawling complex draws locals and visitors alike with a dynamic lineup of art, culture, dining and shopping.
