The best things to do in Hong Kong this weekend (March 6-8)

Louis Vuitton is celebrating its store expansion at Lee Gardens One with a limited-time bar pop-up, partnering with none other than the World’s Best Bar of 2025, Bar Leone. From now until March 15, the Bar Leone x Louis Vuitton pop-up bar will serve new cocktails, mocktails, and food created specifically for the collaboration, taking inspiration from the iconic Yum Sing Bar at the historic Lee Gardens Hotel.

Bar Leone-made drinks such as the Kir Royal with Ruinart Blanc de Blancs, raspberry cordial, and violet; the gin-based Lee Gardens Special with moutai, elderflower, cucumber cordial, and soda; and the Yum Sing Café, featuring coffee, salted cream, and cardamom. Paris With a View offers a non-alcoholic experience of grapefruit and raspberry flavours, while the Bar Leone signature, Masa Margarita, combines toasted corn-infused tequila, sloe gin, and lime cordial.

There are also three food sets available, loaded up with caviar, Balik salmon, lobster, foie gras, and more indulgences – each guest is required to order one per person in order to enjoy the Bar Leone x Louis Vuitton pop-up bar, and you’ll be prompted to choose which set you’d like when making your booking.

One of the highlights of our Arts Month in March is the long-standing Hong Kong Arts Festival, now back for its 54th edition. Running from February 27 to March 27, the 54th Hong Kong Arts Festival will gather more than 1,100 performers, musicians, and artists to present more than 45 distinct programmes in a packed schedule of over 170 performances.

Not to be missed is the Kagami by Ryuichi Sakamoto & Tin Drum mixed-reality performance honouring the late Japanese composer; legendary Sir John Eliot Gardiner’s performance with the Constellation Choir & Orchestra for two nights only; the Asia premiere of La Bella Otero by the Ballet Nacional de España; Canadian troupe The 7 Fingers (Les 7 Doigts) presenting Duel Reality, a blend of contemporary circus antics, theatre arts, and Shakespearean romance and drama, and more. 

Here’s a more detailed guide to this year’s Hong Kong Arts Festival.

Ringing in the new year, Cafe Lantau at Sheraton Hong Kong Tung Chung Hotel is bringing back its beloved seafood buffet with a twist, inviting legendary Wan Chai dining institution Sang Kee to collaborate on the limited-time ‘Shell and Savor’ buffet (from $844.8 for adults, from $734.8 for seniors, from $503.8 for children, all for dinner).

Available from January 5 to March 29 exclusively during the dinner seating, Sang Kee’s seafood staples and Cantonese signatures will be offered at Cafe Lantau, on top of a bountiful variety of iced Russian crab legs, iced lobster claws, tuna, hamachi, deep-fried Hiroshima oysters, soft-shell crab baos, crab bisque, and more from the buffet. Guests can expect Sang Kee’s rabbit fish congee with meatball, steamed fresh lobster with plum sauce and garlic, handmade pan-fried pork patty cake with Tai O salted fish, dace fish balls with clam sauce, and lava black sesame glutinous rice balls in ginger soup.

The Pizza Project is giving indecisive diners exactly what they want this March: the 3-in-1 Pizza alla Pala. This long, Roman-style pizza lets you pick any three flavours from the menu and get them side by side on a single base! Go for a classic Margherita next to something bolder like the Frutti di mare seafood pizza, pair the meaty Carnivore with a creamy Carbonara, or let the table build its own dream combination from the full menu – everything from the ‘Orgogliosa’ with burrata and pesto to the creative Pistacchiosa with pistachio paste and mortadella.

The 3-in-1 Pizza alla Pala is available daily throughout March on the à la carte menu at both the Wan Chai and Central locations.

‘Luminous Neon’ is a new exhibition at the DX Design Hub in Sham Shui Po that shares the radiant world of neon signage and the beauty of the traditional art form with visitors for a dose of nostalgia and collective reminiscing. Presented by the Hong Kong Design Centre, Serious Staging, and Tetra Neon Exchange, ‘Luminous Neon’ brings together a collection of painstakingly restored neon signs and new creations, creating a visual dialogue between traditional craftsmanship and modern creativity. 

Endlessly photographable but balanced with educational and informative elements, the exhibition contrasts the different generational approaches to neon art and its legacy as an enduring cultural symbol of Hong Kong. Check out the historic ‘Golden Phoenix Restaurant’ and legendary ‘Tai Ping Koon Restaurant’ signs that once illuminated two of the city’s most prominent soy sauce western establishments, the ‘Nam Cheong Pawn Shop’ with its unique silhouette, and the Ray-Ban-shaped ‘Tai Cheong Eyeglasses’ sign, and more, all of which highlight the hard-earned skills of neon masters.

Hong Kong’s Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum (SYSM) has finally reopened to the public after months of renovation, just in time to mark the 100th anniversary of the Chinese statesman’s passing. As part of the revamp, the SYSM is presenting the ‘From Healing Patients to Saving a Nation - Dr. Sun Yat-sen in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao’ exhibition from now until March 31, 2026, with free admission to all. 

After making touring stops in Zhongshan and Macau, the exhibition has now come to Hong Kong for its final leg to showcase the life story, ideological journey, and remarkable contributions of Dr Sun. More than 60 invaluable artefacts, documents, and historical photographs are on display, highlighting his ties to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau region. Among them is a historic photograph depicting the Hou Keng Reading Society, a glass negative of the ‘Four Great Desperados’, and significant letters and inscriptions.

If you’d like to deep-dive into Dr Sun’s philosophy, the SYSM will also host scholars from Hong Kong and Macau on November 29 and December 13 for two public lectures. 

Century-old teahouse Lin Heung Lau has teamed up with digital bank ZA Bank on a limited-time collaboration that brings fortune-themed dim sum to Central. From now until April 18, diners can order three special dishes: ZA Golden Eggs (quail egg siu mai with gold foil), ZA Treasure Bowl (ingot-shaped custard bun) and ZA Piggy Bank (piggy-shaped steamed bun), each at a discounted price of $25 with a ZA card. Beyond the food, there are photo spots at the venue and a lucky wheel check-in booth where diners can win limited-edition ‘Foodie Series’ plush blind boxes while stocks last (until March 31).

ZA Bank users dining at the venue can also participate in flash ‘God of Wealth Opens the Vault’ events for a chance to share $2,000 in a group lai see, along with additional perks like rebate coupons and a 12 percent discount on bills over $300 paid with ZA card. 

In a landmark collaboration between the Hong Kong Palace Museum (HKPM) and the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) of Egypt, 250 treasures and relics from the land of the Pharaohs will be on display in Hong Kong for nine and a half months. Named ‘Ancient Egypt Unveiled’, this exhibition is the largest, most comprehensive, and longest-running display of ancient Egyptian artefacts Hong Kong has ever seen, displaying archaeological finds loaned straight from Egypt, many of which are being shown outside of their home country for the very first time.

Some of our favourite highlights include a set of canopic jars used to store internal organs in the mummification and burial process; statues of the female pharaoh Hatshepsut and Rameses II; painted coffins of wood and stone; a Book of the Dead papyrus scroll; and even an ancient Egyptian toilet seat.

Swing by the gift shop to find a wide range of Egypt-related merch, including an adorable series of blind box plushies created by HKPM which depict pharaohs, canopic jars, mummies, and more.

The golden age of Hong Kong cinema saw the production of blockbuster titles like A Better Tomorrow (1986), The Conman (1998), and Infernal Affairs (2002). Packed with action, suspense, and good ol’ “nonsense” humour, these iconic crime films not only offer gripping stories but also capture the essence of life in 70s and 80s Hong Kong. Now, cinephiles can relive their favourite scenes from these classics at the Old Yau Ma Tei Police Station. ‘Yau Ma Tei Police Station: A Cinematic Journey’ delves into local cop film classics through reconstructed sets, collectibles, original scripts, and much more. 

This nostalgic exhibition is now open at the Old Yau Ma Tei Police Station, 627 Canton Road, Yau Ma Tei. Tickets are priced at $30 per person, with concessionary tickets available at $10 per person. Children aged six or below can enter the exhibition for free. Make sure to book your tickets online at cultural.cityline.com, as there will not be tickets onsite.

‘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.
