When autumn comes to mind, most might think of the slight breeze that comes with the seasons changing, or leaves turning shades of yellow and orange. But there’s another thing that’s synonymous with Hong Kong’s autumns: hairy crabs. While some may choose to order and prepare them in the comfort of home, others prefer settling down at one of city’s finest restaurants and fully indulge. Here’s a list of the best places across Hong Kong for you to feast away on these hirsute crustaceans this autumn.

Art lovers are in for a treat this month as Christie’s Asia Pacific gears up for its Hong Kong 20th/21st Century Autumn Auctions, where an exceptional collection featuring the biggest names in modern and contemporary art has been lined up. Answering to the growing demand for artworks by masters and visionaries, the sales are headlined by Pablo Picasso’s Buste de femme, Zao Wou-ki’s 17.3.63, Yoshitomo Nara’s Mumps, David Hockey’s Table with Conversation, Yayoi Kusama’s PUMPKIN [TWAQN], Claude Monet’s Printemps à Giverny, effet d’aprés-midi, J.M.W. Turner’s The Grand Bridge at Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, and many more, showcasing diverse artistic movements.

Christie’s Asia Pacific is commemorating the first anniversary of its new Henderson headquarters with a slew of autumn auctions, among them a sale highlighting Indian, Himalayan, and Southeast Asian Art as part of the launch of this new department. Leading the event is a rare, newly reattributed figure of Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion – an exquisite gilded copper alloy sculpture that is emblematic of a new art style that rose to prominence during the 13th-century Yuan court under the purview of Aniko, the renowned Nepalese artist. Other notable pieces include the figure of Manjushri and a rare thangka attributed to the 10th Karmapa, Choying Dorje, depicting parinirvana. Now’s your chance to see these masterpieces before they head into private collections.

Head to Sotheby’s Maison in Landmark Chater for a limited-time exhibition examining the complex and enduring interplay between desire and death – fundamental forces shaping the human experience. Inspired by the works of French philosopher Georges Bataille, Austrian neurologist Sigmund Freud, and Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, ‘Eros/Thanatos’ combines mythology, art history, and psychoanalysis to uncover how artists have navigated the tension between ecstasy and dissolution across centuries. Curated with a memento mori message in mind, ‘Eros/Thanatos’ encourages viewers to reflect on the feelings of desire and death, and the contradictions that define existence.

As part of the celebration surrounding its new gallery space in the Southside, De Sarthe is launching two exhibitions concurrently. ‘20th Century Narratives – In Conversation’, the gallery’s second show, presents a curated collection of post-war and modern paintings and sculptures, featuring the likes of Yayoi Kusuma, Marc Chagall, Giorgio de Chirico, Chu Teh-chun, Joan Miró, Henry Moore, Jack Tworkov, Bernar Venet, and Zao Wou-ki as they are brought together to represent a transcontinental artistic exchange.

De Sarthe is inaugurating its new gallery space in the Southside with a new solo exhibition featuring contemporary Hong Kong artist Lazarus Chan. ‘Poetics Policy’ is an immersive journey that investigates the influence of policy-making on art, reality, and machine intelligence through multimedia and interactive artworks. Adding a dystopian touch, the exhibition features an AI-built living system as an imagined simulation of the future, which is governed by the artist, but used to emphasise that the essence of art is found in the policies guiding its creation, rather than in the generated texts or imagery.

A new exhibition at M+ showcases 12 immersive installations by pioneering women artists from Asia, Europe, and the Americas, including three new works by Asian artists. Dream Rooms: Environments by Women Artists 1950s–Now emphasises the multisensory experience of art and highlights women’s contributions to installation art, a field often overshadowed by male artists. Visitors can actively engage with the environments, which include nine historic pieces that have been painstakingly reconstructed, such as Aleksandra Kasuba’s Spectral Passage (1975), which invites individuals to journey through interconnected nylon structures as a metaphor of the life cycle; Judy Chicago’s Feather Room (1966), an all-white space filled with 300 pounds of feathers; and more. M+ will also host talks with co-curators Andrea Lissoni and Marina Pugliese to discuss the concept behind the exhibition, and a panel discussion with the three Asian artists whose new, commissioned work is part of Dream Rooms. Additionally, M+ Cinema will screen three documentaries about some of the exhibited artists to supplement the show.

Tai Kwun Contemporary is presenting a two-part exhibition under the theme ‘Stay Connected: Art and China Since 2008’. Centred around an expansive exploration of the transformations and social shifts within 21st-century China brought about by the prolific spread of the internet and digital technologies, the first chapter will take over all three floors of the JC Contemporary art spaces, running for a little over three months. ‘Stay Connected: Navigating the Cloud’ will present more than 50 pieces mapping the creative pursuits of over 35 artists and groups whose practices are influenced by social media, the internet, and digital technologies. Divided into themed segments such as artificial intelligence, information bubbles, online communities, and more, the showcase explores how to ‘stay connected’ in today’s world. Li Shuang, Li Yi-fan, Miao Ying, Wong Ping, Lu Yang, Shao Chun, Zhang Yibei, and the Xijing Men collective are among the many artists exhibiting. Collaborative duo Sun Yuan & Peng Yu – whose claim to fame is the Can’t Help Myself kinetic sculpture with a robotic arm – is also participating.

Urban sketch artist Rob Sketcherman is bringing his unique perspective of Hong Kong’s everyday scenes to the W Hong Kong! From nostalgic pictures of stilt houses in Tai O to depicting the energetic Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance and evening views of the Star Ferry Pier in Tsim Sha Tsui, Sketcherman’s lively art captures the dynamic spirit of the city through detail-oriented, colourful illustrations. What’s special about this exhibition is that there will be five screens in the hotel lobby showcasing Sketcherman’s artistic process through time-lapse recordings of his drawings, so visitors will not only see his finished pieces, but also all the thinking behind the sketches and the work that went into them.

White Cube Hong Kong is staging an exhibition showcasing the works of the seminal Japanese-American artist Isamu Noguchi. ‘A Feeling’ revolves around the pieces Noguchi created after meeting and studying under Chinese master ink painter Qi Baishi, exploring how the teachings influenced his later sculptural approach.  A selection of Noguchi’s abstract ‘Peking Brush Drawings’ and complex bronze sculptures are displayed alongside Qi’s scrolls in this exhibition, creating a narrative between the two artists. Noguchi’s work pushes the boundaries of sculptural positive and negative space, testing the boundaries of three dimensions, but his use of bronze as a medium reflects his desire to blend ancient and modern.

Witness Hong Kong through a quirky lens at Cordis, Hong Kong’s new ‘Art in Residence’ exhibition, featuring a series of surreal digital art pieces created by Tommy Fung where our city’s iconic landmarks and cultural touchpoints are juxtaposed against humorously impossible scenarios. Fung is known for his whimsical, Photoshop-manipulated images – from transforming the Hong Kong Space Museum into a giant Chiikawa head and inserting a snacking panda into a wet market stall narrative, to creating a Tesla Cybertruck version of the iconic Hong Kong red taxi, nothing’s off limits for the Hong Kong artist. ‘SurrealHK: The City Reimagined’ is part of Cordis, Hong Kong’s 10th anniversary celebrations, so mark the occasion with the hotel while taking in some fun art.

Sadly, this is not a full-fledged exhibition featuring the legendary Zao Wou-ki, but it is a special occasion nonetheless. One of the artist’s ‘Hurricane Period’ masterpieces, created   during the early 1960s as he rose to global fame, is heading to auction at Christie’s, and visitors can see it during the public previews for a limited time only.  17.3.63 is notable for its vibrant, incandescent colour, and is one of only 19 bright red large-scale paintings to be completed by the artist in the 1960s. Expressive, powerful brushstrokes are the leading feature of this vertical composition, masterfully balancing light and shadow to exude passion and confidence. It’s the first time the piece has appeared at auction, so once it sells and goes into a private collection, it may not be seen again in public for a long time. Here’s your chance to lay eyes on it.

Well, that didn’t last long: A controversial mandatory seatbelt provision that the Hong Kong government introduced on January 25 has been repealed just five days after it came into effect. On January 30, the secretary for transport and logistics, Mable Chan, announced at a press conference that the legal provisions mandating bus passengers to wear seatbelts would be removed, following technical deficiencies in the legal language. Under the short-lived law, passengers who did not wear a seatbelt on buses would face a maximum fine of $5,000 and up to three months of imprisonment. However, the provision’s wording caused confusion and, following consultations with the Department of Justice, it was acknowledged that the legal clause did not accurately reflect the policy’s intent of requiring all passengers on buses to wear seatbelts where available. It was pointed out that the provision seemed only to apply to new buses registered after the law came into effect; passengers riding on older buses did not face the same requirement. Not long after the new seatbelt regulation came into effect, it already met its first obstacle. On January 29, Citybus filed a police report following an incident in which a passenger aboard its 795X route service was trapped in their seat for over 45 minutes, being unable to unfasten a seatbelt buckle that had been tampered with. More than a dozen firefighters were on the scene to assist, in addition to four paramedics, an ambulance, and three firetrucks.

Is drinking unhealthy? Well, yes, consuming alcohol in excess generally results in negative outcomes, but perhaps the whole thing’s a little less dire so if you’re doing it at a bar that serves cocktails inspired by Hong Kong herbal tea culture and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Clan & Company Community Bar has been delighting Hongkongers with its unique, drinkable interpretations of the ‘Five Flavours’ of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese cuisine, and their latest project takes mindful drinking to greater heights, from cha chaan teng to Victoria Harbour. Located on the outdoor terrace of the Michelin-starred French restaurant Épure, the Clan & Company Lounge is a new alfresco pop-up bar offering a cocktail experience lifted from Hong Kong’s golden era, blending local flavours with nostalgia and botanical goodness. For those who don’t know, Clan & Company is a heritage concept brand and bar by Magnolia Lab, a Hong Kong liqueur producer founded by a local bartender and a TCM practitioner, known for their modern revival of local herbal tea culture through the art of mixology. Reimagining traditional Chinese medicine into innovative cocktails, Clan & Company’s philosophy is centred around crafting “liquid remedies” designed to heal, soothe, and nourish.  Photograph: Courtesy Clan & Company Lounge / @clan.andco.lounge Inventive libations here are completely different to the menu in their cha chaan teng-themed Community Bar in Yau Ma Tei, and some new highlights here

Love dim sum and surreal imagery? You’re in good company. Hong Kong street artist Lousy, best known for his bold graphics resembling glyphs and pictorial shapes, is collaborating with viral food photographer-artist David Leung – also known as Davidgoodtime, who specialises in capturing reflected food images highlighting pareidolia – for a dynamic exhibition about dim sum and the ritual of yum cha.  Hosted at JPS Gallery, ‘Double Umami’ is an artistic ode to Hong Kong cuisine, reimagined through the unique lenses of two distinctly different creators, who shaped their love of dumplings and morning teas into a visual celebration of Hong Kong’s DNA.  Photograph: Courtesy JPS Gallery In the exhibition space, visitors will encounter a customised dim sum cart installation, decorated by David and Lousy, in addition to photographs depicting beloved dim sum dishes in Leung’s signature mirrored style, mounted inside bamboo steamers crafted by master artisan Lui Ming of Ming Sang Steel Bamboo Receptacle. ‘Crab’s Kid Burn & Sell’ shows siu mai in a different light, appearing almost like the face of a crustacean, while ‘Char Siu Cat No. 2’ draws parallels between char siu bao and felines. We also particularly liked the birdcage installation which houses real emu eggs and plastic cards from dim sum carts inscribed with the Chinese onomatopoeia for bird chirps.

How time flies – the formidable Hong Kong International Literary Festival (HKILF) is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year! In honour of its silver jubilee, HKILF is pulling out all the stops this March to present a diverse programme filled with author talks, literary lunches, workshops, showcases, cultural walks, trivia nights, and poetry events. With more than 60 events taking place from March 1 to 8, the 25th edition of HKILF is shaping up to be one for the books. An exciting lineup of authors has been announced, featuring the likes of award-winning Argentine-American writer Hernán Diaz, whose novel Trust was recognised with the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction; acclaimed Indian writer Amitav Ghosh, who will discuss his upcoming work, Ghost-Eye; and Chinese writer Hu Anyan, who will present his poignant nonfiction memoir, I Deliver Parcels in Beijing. Photograph: Courtesy Hong Kong International Literary Festival Authors-slash-athletes Arshay Cooper and Bonnie Tsui will deep-dive into the power of movement and talk about Cooper’s Let Me Be Real With You: Inspiring Stories of Hope, Grit, and Redemption. Liann Zhang will discuss her debut thriller, Julie Chan is Dead, and Marga Ortigas will present her collection of essays, WTF? Women Turning Fifty. Food lovers will want to clear their schedule for Michael Zee, who will talk about his cookbook, Zao Fan: Breakfast of China, winner of the Fortnum & Mason Cookery Book Award 2025.

We have been gripped by the Japanese hamburger steak craze ever since Tokyo’s viral Hikiniku to Come opened at IFC Mall just under two years ago, but securing a reservation for that restaurant feels like an Olympic sport on most days. Even when a second Hikiniku to Come location landed in Tsim Sha Tsui, the frenzy for hambagu has not abated, and now, another major player in the Japanese hambagu space is poised to join the fray in the Hong Kong market – a bit of friendly competition, so to speak. Keeping things in the family, Yamamoto Hamburg is the down-to-earth, family-focused sister brand to Hikiniku to Come, specialising in – you guessed it – authentic, handmade Japanese hambagu patties served in a variety of ways. Chef Shohei Yamamoto, founder of both Yamamoto Hamburg and Hikiniku to Come, established Yamamoto Hamburg in 2005 – a whole 15 years before Hikiniku to Come entered the picture – basing it on the comforting culinary experiences of his childhood. As a result, Yamamoto Hamburg stands out as a more inclusive dining destination that keeps the same promise of high-quality ingredients, wholesome flavours, and meticulous preparation.  Photograph: Courtesy Yamamoto Hamburg Japanese hambagu dishes are, of course, the main attractions at the new Yamamoto Hamburg. Unlike Hikiniku to Come – which offers a specified A4 Kyushu wagyu hambagu set with sides and only a limited array of add-ons and beverages – Yamamoto Hamburg’s menu is much more diverse. Its signature hambagu

Lawson’s divisive ‘drinkable’ mapo tofu beverage from Japan has been making the rounds on social media in recent days, and while sticking the popular Sichuan dish in a to-go cup to be sucked up through a straw is endlessly questionable, The Pizza Project’s decision to slap it on baked dough is infinitely more understandable and welcomed.  In celebration of Lunar New Year, The Pizza Project is launching a limited-time Sichuan Collection menu comprising three special items that combine Italian cuisine with Chinese flavours in the most eccentric of ways. Sichuan pepper, with its love-it-or-hate-it mala numbing qualities, will be the star of the show, alongside other fiery ingredients.  Available only from February 1 to 28 to ring in the Year of the Fire Horse, The Pizza Project’s festive Sichuan Collection includes the mapo pizza ($130) – an unexpected East-meets-West homage to the legendary Chinese recipe reportedly invented by a ‘pockmarked grandmother’ in 19th-century Chengdu, who lends her name to the spicy and now iconic dish. Although this pizza interpretation of mapo tofu is sans tofu, it does come stacked with moreish pork mince, fior di latte, mapo sauce, garlic, dried chilli, and Sichuan pepper, resulting in a pie packed with rich flavour and numbing heat. Photograph: Courtesy The Pizza Project Similarly, the Chinese Diavola ($130) merges savoury and spicy spianata – a cured Italian salami from Calabria aged with hot chilli peppers and paprika – with umami XO sauce,

Hong Kong achieved a major milestone late last year in its quest to promote a connected harbourfront space when it opened the long-awaited eastern section of the East Coast Boardwalk in December, linking North Point to Quarry Bay and thus providing a walkable harbourfront all the way from Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan. Now, the sights are set on the Kowloon side, with ambitious goals to connect the waterfront by 2028. Hot off the success of the Hong Kong Island waterfront development, Hong Kong’s secretary for development, Bernadette Linn, shared in a recent blog post that about 70 percent of Kowloon’s developable waterfront – more than 14 km out of an available 21 km – is already accessible to the public, but there are plans in the works to expand the waterfront connection to an even higher degree. With the completion of a number of anticipated promenade projects, the total length of pedestrian-friendly pathways on both the Hong Kong Island and Kowloon sides of Victoria Harbour will reach 34 km, creating connected, accessible, and inclusive urban waterfront areas. Photograph: Courtesy HKSAR Development Bureau Tsim Sha Tsui is already notably walkable, providing a path from the Star Ferry piers almost all the way to Hung Hom. Nearby, there’s also the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade East, and the entirety of the West Kowloon Cultural District. Newly introduced is the walkable path between Shing Kai Road Garden and Kai Tak Sports Park Dining Cove and the GreenWay in Kai Tak, and comin

As special administrative regions, Hong Kong and Macau have long enjoyed a friendly relationship, especially when it comes to travelling between the two cities, but that’s about to get even easier for international visitors. From now until December 31, the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) is offering free shuttle bus transfers directly from Hong Kong International Airport to Macau to make the journey seamless!

If required, you should also already have a valid visa to Macau. Photograph: Courtesy Macao Government Tourism Office All you need to do is reserve your spot on the bus in advance on the Macau Hong Kong Airport Bus website, as seats are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and sign a declaration form before departure.

Just a few days ago, ComplexCon Hong Kong 2026 announced the highly anticipated headliners for its music programme in March to be none other than Blackpink’s Jennie and American rapper Yeat, but now, we’re blessed with the rest of the event lineup!

Bar Leone on Bridges Street has been a smash hit ever since it opened in 2023, with people spilling out the door hoping to get their hands on the award-winning martinis, but the task has only gotten more difficult ever since Bar Leone bagged top honours on the World’s 50 Best Bars and Asia’s 50 Best Bars lists. For the next two months, however, there might be a creative (and classy) way to beat the queues and experience Bar Leone’s exceptional cocktail-making – at a new bar pop-up in Causeway Bay. Louis Vuitton is celebrating its store expansion at Lee Gardens One with a limited-time bar pop-up, partnering with none other than 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 to pay homage to mixology and craftsmanship.  Photograph: Courtesy Louis Vuitton Located in the Lee Gardens One atrium, the chic pop-bar bar – which can seat up to 20 guests at a time – is festooned with supersized lanterns bearing the LV monogram, so it’s impossible to miss. Once you’re seated, you can sip 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.

Missed J-pop superstar LiSA the last time she came to perform in Hong Kong? You’re in luck – the acclaimed music sensation is bringing her LiVE is Smile Always~15~ tour to Hong Kong this summer as part of her first Asia tour in two years! LiSA is the professional moniker of Japanese singer Risa Oribe, who began her musical career performing in various bands before striking out on her own in 2008 to pursue a solo career and making her major singing debut for the Angel Beats! anime in 2010. Her first solo single, ‘Oath Sign’, was featured as the opening theme to the 2011 anime series Fate/Zero, marking the start of an illustrious run in the ‘anison’ (anime song) genre.  She catapulted to fame with songs like ‘Crossing Field’ and ‘Catch the Moment’ for Sword Art Online, and most notably, chart-topping hits such as ‘Gurenge’, ‘From the Edge’, ’Homura’, ‘Shirogane’, and ‘Akeboshi’ for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. LiSA has also collaborated with K-pop group Stray Kids for the song ‘Social Path’ and released another single with Felix of Stray Kids called ‘ReawakeR’. She is praised for her strong vocals and powerful stage presence, so seeing her live is definitely an experience. LiSA is scheduled to perform at the AsiaWorld-Arena for one night only on Saturday, July 18, following the April release of her newest full-length album Lace Up. If you were among those who struggled to secure tickets for her sell-out show in Hong Kong in June 2024, this will be a good opportunity to try a
