Stanley Plaza's annual Christmas market is a must-visit every holiday season. Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, the seaside holiday market is amping up the merriment with the playful theme ‘Merry Gingermas’, a nod to ginger as both a warming spice and the Cantonese slang for ‘gutsy’ (gau geung; 夠薑).

With nearly 30 food and drink brands joining in the festive fun, visitors will be pleased to see returning favourites like Hugo’s Cheese, Biergarten’s German classics, and The Nutter Company’s local gelato, alongside newcomers such as Michelin-recognised Fisholic, Curry Boy, and Jacques n Grill’s pop-up serving exclusive ginger-spiced dishes.

Expect more than 40 retail and F&B stalls, including new fusion spot Cooshti and a dozen Taikoo Place restaurants serving limited-edition neon-inspired dishes and festive classics. Everything will run on digital food-and-drink coupons to cut paper waste, and visitors are encouraged to bring their own containers or rent reusable ones on-site. Even the giant neon wreath, handcrafted by neon master Wu Chi-kai, will be upcycled into table lamps after the event. Beyond shopping and eating, there will also be a two-metre Christmas gift box arena for rhythm-and-light team games, a Friday-night Cantopop disco with Cantomania, and an interactive theatre piece blending community stories with a colour-changing tree. This year’s proceeds will go to Operation Santa Claus, and for every dollar raised, Swire Properties will also match the amount with a dedicated contribution to the Tai Po relief effort.

Did you know that Hong Kong is home to the world’s tallest Coca-Cola bottling facility? Sitting quietly in Sha Tin, this plant has been making drinks for the city since 1965. Having just marked its 60th anniversary, Swire Coca-Cola Hong Kong is closing out the milestone year by letting the public inside its newly upgraded Hong Kong Coca-Cola Museum for the very first time with three special guided tours. Photograph: Courtesy Swire Coca-Cola HK ‘The Bottling Hunt’ experience is a one-hour time-travel adventure that follows the brand’s ‘Made in Hong Kong’ story. It’s far from a mundane walkthrough, as they’ve thrown in enough interactive moments to keep adults and kids engaged, while still giving you a solid understanding of how the brand became part of daily life here and what the modern production process and sustainability plans are all about. Photograph: Courtesy Swire Coca-Cola HK Photograph: Courtesy Swire Coca-Cola HK The tour begins in the lobby, where rows of bottle designs and collectables from different eras are displayed. Next comes a recreated 1886 Jacobs’ Pharmacy – Coca-Cola’s first-ever retail point – where visitors can put on period costumes, take on the role of lab assistants to Dr John Pemberton, and take part in a quick scent challenge to identify classic flavours. From there, the route traces key local milestones, starting in 1965 when Swire Group obtained the exclusive right to manufacture, market, and distribute Coca-Cola products, through to the co

If you’ve been tempted by a plate of fresh oysters lately, perhaps you should hold off that craving for another time. The city is currently dealing with a sudden uptick in food poisoning cases, with raw (or undercooked) seafood, particularly oysters, turning out to be the common link in the majority of incidents. The latest cluster to make Hong Kong headlines involves eight people (five men and three women, all in their late 20s) who dined at the Clipper Lounge in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on January 31 and February 2. They ate raw oysters, salmon sashimi, crab legs, and brown crab, and between 25 and 75 hours later, symptoms including diarrhoea, abdominal pain, vomiting, and fever had set in. Four of them sought medical care, but no one required hospitalisation and all are now recovering steadily. After field inspection by the Centre for Food Safety (CFS), early indications pointed towards the raw items as the likely source. The restaurant has since been instructed to pause sales of the suspect dishes, carry out thorough cleaning and disinfection, and strengthen food-handling practices. This incident isn’t a one-off case either. Reported cases have climbed steadily from roughly one per week in late December last year, to an average of four cases in January. For the past few weeks alone (from January 18 to February 9), a total of 37 food poisoning cases have affected well over 100 people, with norovirus responsible for the vast majority. Time and again, epidemiological inve

If your usual weekend plans could use a dose of retro glamour, clear your calendar for April 24 to 26 as the Harbourside Swing Fest returns. This three-day event, dedicated to celebrating vintage dance and jazz culture, promises a weekend filled with infectious rhythms, global talent, and immersive experiences that transport participants back to the golden era of Lindy Hop.  Photograph: Courtesy Harbourside Swing Fest Highlights to look forward to include a stellar lineup of instructors from around the world. Headlining the teaching roster are French experts Marion Quesne and Sylvain Guiheneuc, known for their dynamic energy and deep love for Lindy Hop. They’ll be joined by regional powerhouses Adamas Kim from Korea and Sing Lim from Singapore – both of whom trained directly under Lindy Hop legend Frankie Manning and have since built thriving scenes in their home countries. Music takes centre stage too, with a dedicated roster of live jazz performances curated by acclaimed local music director Nate Wong.  Photograph: Courtesy Harbourside Swing Fest One of the festival’s most anticipated activities is the ‘Dance in a Day’ programme that’s perfect for beginners. In a single immersive session, newcomers can go from learning the ropes to dancing the night away at the Harbourside Swing Fest Saturday Night Social. It’s an invitation to experience the full spirit of swing dancing without any prior commitment. Photograph: Courtesy Harbourside Swing Fest Whether it’s workshops,

Hong Kong’s pet owners have been waiting for this one: the chance to bring their dogs along for a proper sit-down meal indoors – and to stop feeling guilty every time they leave their best friend at home to go out for dinner. For decades, the city’s food premises have operated under strict rules from the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD), banning dogs (and most pets) inside to ensure food safety and hygiene. Only guide dogs and approved service animals have been allowed as exceptions, with hefty fines possible for violations – but a new policy is about to change that for the first time in over 30 years. As announced in the 2025 Policy Address, the government is introducing a special permit that will let selected restaurants welcome dogs indoors. The initiative aims to support the growing pet community and boost the local ‘pet economy’ by giving businesses new ways to attract customers. In late January 2026, the secretary for environment and ecology Tse Chin-wan informed the Legislative Council that the first batch of these special permits is targeted for approval by mid-2026, with application dates yet to be confirmed.  The rollout will be limited to roughly 500 to 1,000 permits to allow for monitoring and adjustments before wider expansion. If demand exceeds the quota, permits will be allocated via a lottery system. Operators will be required to pay an application fee of $140 and must follow detailed guidelines such as displaying clear signage at entrances, pr

When it comes to celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, no event is more grand than the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance. Listed as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage, this cherished tradition draws massive crowds of Hongkongers and visitors every year, all for a glimpse of this blazing spectacle. Read on to find out when, where, and what is happening this year.  What is the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance? With more than 140 years of history, the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance is an annual tradition commemorating the triumph over a plague that once broke out in Tai Hang in 1880. This ritual sees a magnificent dragon – spanning 67 metres and meticulously crafted using more than 10,000 burning incense sticks – paraded through the streets of Tai Hang by around 300 performers. In 2011, the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance was inscribed onto the third national list of Intangible Cultural Heritage. When is the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance happening? The dance will take place from Sunday, October 5 to Tuesday, October 7, starting from 7pm. Special traffic arrangements will be in place to facilitate the event, so be sure to make note of any road closures, traffic diversions, and the suspension of parking spaces. If an Amber Rainstorm Warning or above is issued, or a Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal No. 8 and above is hoisted, the event will be cancelled, so keep an eye on the weather. Where will the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance take place? Before the parade begins, officiating guests will perform rituals

Of all the weird and wonderful traditions we have in Hong Kong, this one is definitely up there. Whether you’ve had a bad day at work, couldn’t sleep because of a noisy neighbour, or have an ex who just won’t stop pestering you, the ancient Chinese custom of villain hitting (打小人; pronounced ‘da siu yan’ in Cantonese) might be able to solve all your problems – by metaphorically crushing them into oblivion with a shoe and some paper. Yes, it’s as strange as it sounds, so you better read on as we tell you all about it.  Photograph: Jenny Leung Photograph: Jenny Leung What is villain hitting? Villain hitting is a traditional folk ritual practised in parts of China, in particularly Hong Kong and Guangdong. This ceremony involves creating a paper effigy that represents your ‘villain’ – be it your annoying coworker, a frenemy, or that guy/girl who ghosted you – and battering it with a shoe to curse away the negative energy and bad spirits.    Photograph: Jenny Leung  What is the process of villain hitting? First, you will need to buy a villain hitting pack that usually costs around $50. Then, find a villain hitting stall and tell the hitter details about what, or who, it is that you want to get rid of from your life. Remember, the more specific the better. The hitter will then create a paper effigy and beat the living daylights out of it while reciting chants that basically tell any bad spirits to bugger off. The effigy is then burned to symbolise the destruction of your probl

Finally, the King of K-pop G-Dragon (GD) is almost here in Hong Kong! The multitalented rapper, singer-songwriter, entrepreneur, and global fashion icon announced in March 2025 the Asia leg of his Übermensch solo world tour, just shortly after releasing his third studio album ‘Übermensch’ in February, which was a long 12-year wait since his second studio album.  The K-pop star kicked off the tour on March 29 and 30 in South Korea at Goyang Stadium. He then continued the tour in May, hitting up locations such as Japan, the Philippines, Macau, Taiwan, and Indonesia, before rounding things off in Hong Kong. When and where is G-Dragon’s Hong Kong concert? K-pop fans couldn’t be more excited to see Hong Kong on the list of concert locations for G-Dragon’s Übermensch tour. The K-pop star was originally scheduled to perform in Hong Kong for two nights on August 9 and 10. But due to overwhelming demand for tickets, he has added another date to the Hong Kong leg, so we’ll be seeing him on August 8, 9, and 10, 2025, at the AsiaWorld-Expo. What is the Übermensch concert setlist? Here are the songs that G-Dragon performed on his March 29 show in Goyang.

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.
