Hong Kong's dining scene is losing two waterfront gems as Hue Dining, a modern Australian restaurant, and Ink Cafe, an al fresco cafe and bar, prepare to close their doors at the end of June. Run by Wolly Pig HK, these spots are well-loved for their casual bites, welcoming vibe, and killer harbour views. But it's not all sad news, as they're going out with a bang. To thank their loyal guests, Hue Dining is offering a 20 percent discount on their three-course lunch and dinner menus from June 23 to 26, as well as a farewell brunch on June 28 and 29. Those who dine on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Monday will also get a free welcome cocktail or mocktail with their dinner. As for Ink Cafe, they're throwing a renovation party on June 30 with happy hour prices starting at $80 for tap beers, gin and tonics, and cocktails. Bar snacks will also start from $80, so it's the perfect chance to raise a glass before Ink Cafe takes a quick break to reopen with a fresh look in July. Patrons of the two eateries will be happy to know that this is just a brief goodbye, as Woolly Pig HK has plans for a brand-new restaurant concept pop-up at the Hong Kong Museum of Art soon, promising to deliver the same stunning views and quality food.

Ocean Park Hong Kong to add bungee jumps and ziplines to new Adventure Zone

Ocean Park has announced its plans to create a brand-new Adventure Zone, covering approximately 120,000 square meters and offering a variety of new attractions, including bungee jumps and ziplines! Read on for more details about the new opening. Set to open in 2028, the Adventure Zone will be located on the former sites of the popular attractions Raging River and Mine Train, divided into three main areas each designed to offer unique experiences. To access the new zone, however, visitors will need to grab themselves separate admission tickets. Photograph: Courtesy Ocean Park Hong Kong At the former Boardwalk Cafe site, visitors can look forward to two exhilarating ziplines, each about 1,000 meters long. One will soar over Water World, and the other will weave through lush greenery, giving you breathtaking views of Aberdeen Harbour and the southern coast of Hong Kong. For those seeking more thrills, three adrenaline-pumping dry slides with steep drops and sharp turns will definitely provide an exhilarating rush. Over at the former site of the Mine Train, its iconic dome-shaped structure will be transformed into an activity hub complete with scenic walkways and a ropes park, and the nearby Luge – Alpine Coaster will offer various gravity-defying adventures. Meanwhile, the area around the former Raging River will be transformed, featuring bungee jumps, a twin giant swing, outdoor playgrounds, climbing walls, and more.

Joan Cornellà returns to Hong Kong with solo exhibition after four years

Joan Cornellà returns to Hong Kong with solo exhibition after four years

We've all had that moment when we're mindlessly scrolling through Instagram when one of Joan Cornellà's illustrations pops up and you can't help but let out a guilty chuckle. Absurd, and maybe even a little creepy at first glance (what with his signature dead-eye characters doing unhinged things and all), Cornellà's dark humour hits a nerve – it's twisted, but weirdly relatable. So, it's no surprise that Hong Kong has a soft spot for the Spanish artist's twisted worldview. Now returning after four years, Joan Cornellà is back with a solo exhibition in town this July. Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming show, from event info like dates and tickets to what you can expect to see. Who is Joan Cornellà and why should you care? With over three million followers on Instagram, Joan Cornellà is a Spanish artist known for his illustrations and comics that pair seemingly cheerful cartoonish visuals with social commentary. His work pokes fun at the bleak side of humanity, and the obsessions and flaws of society with a hard (and creepy) grin, making you laugh while possibly questioning your life choices. Cornellà's past shows in Hong Kong were a massive hit with fans showing up for his dark, satirical take on life, so you can expect nothing less for his 2025 exhibition in Hong Kong. When and where is Joan Cornellà's Hong Kong exhibition? We don't know about you, but the bustling Central area plus the contrast of The Fringe Club's historic setting seems to be the perfect

Hong Kong's skyline has been named the world's 7th most iconic

Hong Kong's skyline has been named the world's 7th most iconic

Hong Kong is famous for many things, and when it comes to jaw-dropping skylines, we're always up there in the ranks. Well, now it's official: our city's famous shimmering skyline has been crowned the seventh most iconic in the world, according to a recent study done by the team at Slingo.  Their study ranked cities based on their overall skyline appeal by analysing social media posts, the number of skyscrapers, and how closely they match the 'golden ratio', a mathematical formula (approximately 1.618) celebrated as "the secret to aesthetic harmony, found in art, design and even nature". And the results? Hong Kong managed to score a solid 7.27 out of 10 thanks to its impressive collection of towering structures and undeniable appeal to photographers from all around the world. Photograph: Jenny Leung So what makes us stand out? Let's start with the numbers pulled by Slingo. Hong Kong is home to a staggering 558 buildings taller than 150 metres, 97 of which soar over 200 metres. Landmarks like the International Commerce Centre (ICC), which stands as the tallest building in Hong Kong, and the iconic Bank of China Tower are just a couple of the many vertical estates in this concrete jungle. Photograph: Jenny Leung Hong Kong's skyline also offers a mesmerising blend of fascinating architecture, lush green mountains, and of course, the Victoria Harbour. Whether you're gazing out from the Avenue of Stars or taking in the bird's eye view from The Peak, it's a scene that's hard to

Lin Heung Tea House's new 24-hour Tsim Sha Tsui branch officially opens

Hong Kong's iconic Lin Heung Tea House (Lin Heung Lau) opens its first-ever branch outside Central, bringing its beloved pushcart dim sum service to the bustling hub of Tsim Sha Tsui (TST). Photograph; Ann Chiu The new TST branch occupies a 9,000sq ft space across two floors along Kimberley Road in the Cheung Lee Commercial Building (next to the steep slope that leads to Knustford Terrace – the 'LKF' of Kowloon) and will operate around the clock – nothing like a bit of midnight dim sum to soak up the alcohol.     Photograph: Ann Chiu Photograph: Ann Chiu The new Tsim Sha Tsui branch is also staying true to its heritage by offering traditional teaware, classic dim sum items, dim sum trolleys, and other features that make this place the legendary establishment that we all know and love. Photograph: Ann Chiu After its closure in 2022, the Wellington Street flagship reopened under new management in April 2024. The return of veteran staff, signature dim sum cart service, and the added new element of bubble tea and hand-shaken drinks were welcomed with open arms by both patrons and curious new diners alike. For this new location, Lin Heung Lau is switching things up by hosting a live DJ station where classic tunes will be spun on dedicated 'nostalgic nights'.  Lin Heung Tea House Tsim Sha Tsui Address: 1-2/F, Cheung Lee Commercial Building, 25 Kimberley Road, Tsim Sha Tsui Stay in the loop: sign up for our free Time Out Hong Kong newsletter for the best of the city, strai
Yuen Long named as the most liveable area in Hong Kong

Yuen Long named as the most liveable area in Hong Kong

We all have our favourite neighbourhoods in Hong Kong for food, drink, and things to do – but whether they're suitable for living in is an entirely different question. Well, now there are some official numbers to back things up. According to a survey done by language learning platform Preply, which used official and public data from a range of sources, the study examined all of Hong Kong's 18 districts across multiple factors that impact everyday living, such as population density, real estate costs, safety, retail and dining options, connectivity, and environmental factors like air and water quality and noise levels. Yuen Long claimed the top spot as Hong Kong's most liveable area, offering a combination of affordable housing at $9,476 per square foot, abundant green spaces with 188 parks and playgrounds, and excellent transportation connectivity with the most bus stops in the territory. The North District followed closely in second place, while Sha Tin and the Eastern District took third and fourth place, respectively. The survey also revealed that safety played a major part in determining the most desirable places to live. Yau Tsim Mong, which consists of Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui, and Mong Kok, topped the charts with a staggering 8,883 reported crimes between January and October 2024. On the other hand, the North District emerged as the safest with just 586 reported crimes. Hong Kong districts with the highest cost per square foot were also listed, with Central and Wester
