The best events happening in Hong Kong this January

This new park and play area in between the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park and the Western Wholesale Food Market is an absolute dream for little ones. Featuring cloud-shaped bouncing installations, slides, climbing frames, and even sand and water play zones, there is plenty to entertain children with energy to burn off, while others can simply chill at the seating areas and enjoy the city’s unmatched harbour views. Where was this playground when we were kids??

‘The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: The Art Plaza Project at the Hong Kong Palace Museum’ is a multimedia initiative that takes traditional Chinese garden aesthetics as the main inspiration. The project features large installations by five local artists and an architect, each creative bringing a unique contemporary interpretation of traditional zen garden elements to the showcase, where iconic pavilions, flowing water, and aesthetic rock formations are reimagined with materials found in our bustling city, such as bamboo, metal, and fabric. 

This exhibition will be open to the public until November 2, 2026 at the Museum Plaza at the Hong Kong Palace Museum. Entry is free of charge during the museum’s opening hours.
