Age isn’t always a ticket to street cred, but the 180-year-old Hollywood Road just clinched the title for the second coolest street in the world for 2024, after Melbourne’s High Street which got the top spot. Annually, Time Out releases the list based on local polls combined with the expertise of our local editors. In 2022, Sheung Wan’s cool bohemian street, Tai Ping Shan, ranked seventh in the world, chosen for its unique blend of old and new, food, culture, and pandemic-era community spirit. This year, the streets were chosen for their rich history yet ever-evolving character, and all the cool stuff they offer, including a range of experiences for appreciating art, dining and drinking, and retail offerings.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Time Out Hong Kong (@timeouthk) Photograph: Joshua Lin Hollywood Road stood out because it represents exactly what we think makes a street cool: it has a long history but is still constantly changing and offering something new. This 1km stretch from Central to Sheung Wan is like that wise old friend who’s seen it all but still knows how to rock it. One of its main features is how it’s linked to all the other cool streets in Central, like Wyndham Street, Upper Lascar Row, Old Bailey Street, and more. You’ll also never go hungry nor thirsty in the area, with options ranging from Michelin-starred dining, like the highly coveted Tate Dining Room that serves Chinese cuisine with a French twist, to trendy new bar

Let’s face it: a large part of the Hallyu’s phenomenal success has to do with South Korea’s attractive celebrities and pop culture personalities, and boy, do they have pretty boys in spades. So how would you like to see a group of buff, objectively hot Korean men gyrating across a stage without having to fly to Korea yourself? The hugely popular Wild Wild Show has worked plenty of women up into a frenzy when it visited Taiwan and Macau last year, and now, these nine well-oiled oppas with rippling abs are making their way to our shores. Designed to cater to every type of female desire with the male actors presenting loving, romantic, gentle, and wild fantasies, the Wild Wild Show in Korea bars anyone under 19 from entry – so that should give you an idea of just how hot things might get on stage. Expect modern dance numbers, aerial and pole dances, men in uniforms, men in barely any clothing, and interactive performances that are just short of public indecency.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Wild Wild (@wildwild_official) There will purportedly be four shows altogether in May, three of which are only for women, and one for everyone interested regardless of gender. Three members of the Wild Wild troupe – leader Lee Kug-young, along with Kang Chun-il and Jeong Han-saem – will also be going around Hong Kong on an open-top bus to tease the show on March 14. They’ll be touring around Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui promenade, North Point, Causeway

We’re all guilty of forgetting our belongings sometimes, but this news takes the phrase ‘out of sight, out of mind’ to a new level. A rare ‘12 symbol’ blue silk dragon robe that dates back to the early 19th century has been rediscovered after being stashed away in a cardboard box for 100 years. Purchased from China in 1913 by Eric Hyde Villiers, it is said to have been brought back to England as a gift, but has remained packed away in the family home of the Villiers, one of the most distinguished aristocratic families in the UK. It was not until recently that the tailors’ box containing the Chinese robe was found, shoved in the back of a drawer that was never opened. Photograph: Courtesy Dreweatts During imperial times in China, emperors had no shortage of beautiful clothing, but even among the royal wardrobe this is a special piece, as the garment is only worn by the ruling Emperor for two days a year during festivities at the Temple of Heaven. To pray for bountiful harvests across his country, the Emperor would offer ceremonial sacrifices to the gods, and his specially designated robe is decorated with motifs that represent these gods.  Set against a blue background, the robe features 12 symbols of imperial authority woven in gold thread around the neck, while nine five-clawed dragons – a motif exclusive for royal use – clasp flaming pearls of wisdom. To fit the ceremonies at the Temple of Heaven, grains of millet and a pair of temple cups can also be seen on the garment.

While you might associate the best Hong Kong films with acclaimed directors such as Wong Kar-wai and John Woo, Hong Kong filmmakers have never shied away from producing raunchier flicks (though they have nothing on what really happens in Hong Kong’s BDSM scene).First appearing in the 1960s, Hong Kong’s X-rated films peaked in popularity during the 1990s (following the establishment of the notorious Category III rating). While the 2000s saw Hongkongers gain an unparalleled level of access to adult material online (see: How Hongkongers use Pornhub), notable erotic films have kept coming, including ‘the world’s first 3D erotic movie’, 3D Sex and Zen, and more. With so many to choose from, here’s our pick for Hong Kong’s top 12 sexiest movies. RECOMMENDED: Want more steamy flicks? Check out this list of Asian erotic films, or if it’s romance you’re after, check out Hong Kong’s best romcoms or these romantic films on Netflix.
