- schmidtmgSwitzerland1,027 contributionsFirst time I went to the Asia Society's exhibition center , on the Asia Society premises close to Pacific Place and the Shangri-La hotel. Very nice and quiet exhibition pavillion with changing exhibits; there is no entrance charge I visited the exhibit "Fusion", a joint venture organized during the pandemic form 2020 to 2022 by a French -Hong Kong couple of sculptors who bought an old sawmill in Tuscany an operate their sculpture studio there. The exhibit features about 30 works of art and sculptures made out of Italian marble (executed by Italian artists)and wood (executed by Hong Kong artists). Well worth visiting..Written 1 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Gloria WongHong Kong Island, China169 contributionsCan’t believe there are lots of newly opened cafe in the Mills!! Had a quick Aussie lunch @ Fleur Hong Kong located just opposite to the performance area🥰
👧🏻_嚟到南豐紗廠 試左間行簡約風 主打Aussie lunch既餐廳 餐廳面積都算大 大約有一半係pet friendly嘅 有一半係普通座位 雖然當日我地冇帶任何寵物 但係就見到啲staff好細心 每一次帶寵物嘅客人離開後 都會馬上消毒寵物坐墊先比下一個客人用 而且哩度d staff都好nice 見到我地望住個menu糾結左一陣（嗰陣仲糾結緊叫avo lover定fish lover最後兩個都叫哂）就走埋嚟問我地駛唔駛比啲建議我地😽
🌟Avo lover $128
(Avocado, Homemade dill salmon avocado shallot tartar, Okonomiyaki, Soft boiled egg, beetroot mayo, Edible flowers)
份量唔多 賣相靚 打卡同當appetizer都唔錯😽 中間用牛油果砌成嘅花 左邊同右邊分別係普通嘅牛油果他他同埋牛油果乾蔥三文魚他他 味道普通 牛油果味龍蓋過咗三文魚嘅鮮味🧐🙉半熟蛋有啲啲過熟
🌟Fish lover $138
(Grilled miso salmon, Risotto hash, Pickled mushroom, Green salad, Miso sauce, Edible flowers)
好有驚喜 望落似普通一件鞋鞋地嘅三文魚扒 但係原來切開係五成熟嘅三文魚扒😻配埋個味增汁 滲出嚟浸甜味好夾個三文魚 而且意大利飯表面有煎過 好似rice burger咁❣️夾埋沙律菜一齊食好正 好特別 10/10❗️
🌟Fleur lover $128
(Hot cake, Mascarpone cream, Mixed french fruits & berries, Nuts, Organic maple syrup, Edible flowers)
*Meal preparation time: 20 mins
因為我哋選擇咗後上 再加上weekend比較多人 所以等左大約20幾分鐘先有 值得一讚嘅係上到嚟真係熱辣辣😻而且俾我哋想像中大份好多🙀食之前唧左啲青檸同撈左中間個cream中和翻個甜味 cream唔會好膩口 不過生果就偏酸 食用花冇苦味 蛋糕底溝咗啲藍莓不過冇乜味 如果多d syrup就perfect喇🙌🏻
🌟Superfruit $44
ice ball入面有朵花 飲品配以洛神花茶 再唧少少西柚汁 喝落少少酸得嚟帶有微微嘅茶香😻視覺味覺享受max🙌🏻

The academy was opened to the public in phases between 2012-14 and now features three hillside levels of Grade 3 protected historic buildings that function as a museum with exhibition galleries, activity centre, restaurant, coffee shop and even a hotel. The outdoor grounds are open from 8am to 10pm daily, exhibition halls are open from 10am to 6pm daily. No entry fee required.
The lower level is where you find the Main Gallery which is a testimony to the life and scholarly works of Jao Tsung-I. There is also a Heritage Hall where you can learn about the history of the area and buildings which date back to the late 19th century when a Qing Dynasty Customs house was located here. Later buildings, including those you see today, served as a labourers' quarters, prison, quarantine station, infectious disease hospital and lastly a psychiatric rehab centre which was eventually closed in 2004. There is a statue of Jao Tsung-I and a small but beautiful lotus pond here.
The second level is where you find a series of buildings including another exhibition hall, presently presenting information about Chinese language characters, activity rooms, Hope of Joy restaurant and Coffeeflow. Continuing to the third level, you will find the Heritage Lodge. There are public toilets on each level as well as a series of lifts for those unable to walk up the stairs between levels and guests of the hotel with luggage.Written 11 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ECWorldHong Kong, China2,678 contributionsA small oasis in North Point, which is a veritable concrete jungle. A few preserved historical buildings and some open space. They do have some interesting art exhibitions here once in a while. There really isn't much of interest for the typical tourist in the area, but does offer some breathing room for the localsWritten 13 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BradJillHong Kong, China157,255 contributionsThis is a modern and contemporary art gallery with showrooms in various cities around the world including this place on the ground floor of The Galleria in Central. Opening hours are from 10am to 7pm (Mon to Sat), closed on Sundays.
You can visit the international Opera Gallery website to see what exhibitions are slated for the Hong Kong branch. If attending our annual art fairs like Art Central, you'll also find Opera Gallery with showcasing artworks there.Written 11 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

For the most part the JCCAC was closed down during the pandemic but there have been far more events, courses and the likes taking place there in recent months as Hong Kong has reopened its public and government run facilities around the city.
It takes some research to find activities and studios here suitable and convenient for tourists to visit and take part in. You can browse through the JCCAC website if interested. What visitors can do that is accessible are the coffee shop called Cafe Golden and the delightful Heritage Tea House. These are open daily.
JCCAC is located on Pak Tin Street and is around an 8-10 minute walk from the Shek Kip Mei MTR Station.Written 27 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- mariasU6363KJ1 contributionI have been Here a few times with my husband. At first, my husband was not an art fan at all, but the relaxing atmosphere made him love it. He can Express himself through GREAT guidance of teachers Here. Also release pressure from work and develop his creativity.
The atmosphere is relaxing because the place is. Neat and tidy, you will see lots of master pieces hanged around and people around you would appreciate those together. Also teachers Have GREAT patience.
The price is reasonable. And the location was not hard to find, nearby admiralty mtr station.Written 31 May 2014This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

She was most welcoming and informative and has some great work on show/for sale.Written 20 January 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BradJillHong Kong, China157,255 contributionsThe JC Contemporary Museum at Tai Kwun continues to host a handful of interesting art exhibitions each year. Exhibitions primarily feature local artists and are usually free for the public. Opening hours are 11am to 7pm daily.
First and foremost, the architectural design of the JC Contemporary building is interesting, the exterior is worth a few minutes to enjoy. The interior is centred by a four storey spiralling staircase from which various floors and galleries spin off as you make your way upward. Gallery rooms are spacious, lighting in general is good although we at times feel it shines too brightly on the displayed works, creating glare and making it a bit difficult to take nice photos. Otherwise, it is a very good use of art space in Hong Kong.
We visit 2-3 times a year and almost always find at least one of the exhibitions very interesting. Recently we much enjoyed the INK CITY exhibition (23 April to 1 August 2021) featuring works by artists using ink art to present and articulate a social voice regarding living together in a crowded community and dealing with our urban environment here in Hong Kong.
The exhibition includes a thorough brochure which presents the various artists and describes their respective works that are on display. In addition to traditional ink art, there are installations and video representations that we enjoyed viewing and learning about. Enjoyed quite a few of the works on display, finding Howie Tsui's Retainers of Anarchy (2018) and animated Parallax Chambers (2018-ongoing) to be particularly thought provoking. In the end, we found this exhibition well worth 30-45 minutes as part of a visit to the JC Contemporary Museum at Tai Kwun.
You can visit the Tai Kwun website to learn more about present and upcoming exhibitions. There you can also find out about other events and happenings around Tai Kwun as well.Written 5 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Not here! The member of staff working was very friendly and chatty about the art on show, the gallery and the city in general. As for the exhibition, whilst I was somewhat sceptical about an exhibition titled ‘Beijing Abstract’ at first, it actually had some pretty incredible works to view. Finally, it’s also a great space in which to view art and a superb location. Very impressed!Written 21 May 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BradJillHong Kong, China157,255 contributionsThe former Police Married Quarter (PMQ) in Central was restored and repurposed as a creative and design focused shopping venue in Central back in 2014. You won't find the typical luxury and international brand name shops here However. This is a social project whereby affordable space has been set aside for local entrepreneurs, seeking to showcase and grow their businesses as art courses, galleries, lifestyle and consumable products, clothing, fashion, jewellery and all manner of creative shops. There are a couple of casual eateries and coffee shops as well.
In short, if you want to see local Hong Kong brands, there are around 100 small shops that line the floors at PMQ. There are also large scale seasonal decorations along with occasional exhibitions and events that have made for interesting experiences and reasons to visit PMQ over the years. You'll find PMQ along Aberdeen Street in Central. Shops have respective opening hours but are generally open from late morning until evening each day. The venue can be a bit crowded during midday weekends and public holidays but is usually far less crowded than our higher end malls.Written 28 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

No pics allowed inside but this exhibition has some truly beautiful paintings. Absolutely free to see and, if you’re absurdly rich, then you can afford to buy some of it in the upcoming auction too I would have thought.Written 12 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
