    The Hong Kong Culture Centre is situated along the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade in the Kowloon Peninsula. Completed in 1989, this is a large complex with a 2000 seat concert hall, 1700 Grand Theatre, smaller Studio Theatre, Exhibition gallery as well as multiple exhibition foyers.

    The venue is used throughout the year for world-class concerts, theatre and musical productions, opera, dance and drama performances which you can reserve at the ticketing box office (open from 10am to 9:30pm daily) or reserve through the URBTIX website.

    Note: The Hong Kong Arts Festival is held during the early months each year. Numerous large scale performances take place at the Hong Kong Culture Centre as part of this important annual programme.

    It was not much to look at but this historic building is the only surviving pre-war cinema building in the urban area of Hong Kong. We wandered around the small lobby and learnt that it has become a venue dedicated to Cantonese opera. We were told some of the theater's interior were original.

    The Ko Shan Theatre and New Wing are the centrepiece of the city park along Ko Shan Park Road in the To Kwa Wan neighbourhood. While the theatre house is open during scheduled performances, the park grounds are available for use 24 hours a day.

    Here you will find nice, landscaped levels with park benches, elderly exercise equipment, children's playground area, football pitch and public toilets. In the end, it is a decent city park for area residents to enjoy and potentially worth spending a few minutes to enjoy if coming to Ko Shan for a performance.

    The theatre itself has been a place to take in Cantonese opera since the early 1980s. A bit overshadowed now with the opening of the magnificent Xiqu Centre in TST, this is still a popular venue for locals who appreciate and take in regular performances.

    Note: Much easier travelling to Ko Shan Theatre and park grounds these days with the opening of the nearby To Kwa Wan MTR Station, just 5-6 minute on foot.

    The location provides a convenient place for special events and the participants could engage the crowd directly.

    Interesting intro to elements of the Cantonese opera repertoire, in a modern and intimate setting (seating less than 200). Subtitles on screen means no need to consult program notes even if you do not understand Cantonese, although some know of Chinese history and culture will make the performance much more comprehensible. Unfortunately during Covid-19 no food or drinks allowed so the 'Tea House' setting goes for naught, but overall quite enjoyable even though I must admit opera (Chinese or Western) is not exactly my cup of tea. But setting quite close to the stage does allow me to watch the footwork, gestures and other details much more clearly. Performers are all young, which is good (this art form need new blood) though they may not be top notch technique wise. All told a worth-while experience.

    The Symphony of Lights is a famous multi-media light show, making use of 50 buildings and landmarks on both sides of Victoria Harbour and held nightly at 8pm. During the programme, viewers can see lasers being shot into the sky from various fixed locations along with building facades projecting LED displays. The show lasts around 10 minutes and is accompanied with an audio music program which you can download as a mobile app through iTunes and Google Play.

    The program started in 2004 and has been wildly popular with tour groups over the years. In all honestly, it is decent and interesting if you are in a location where the light show can be viewed. Otherwise, it can be disappointing when weather is poor or crowds intense or if the right expectations are not set beforehand. Just know what you are in store to see beforehand and you'll probably enjoy the programme - at least somewhat.

    Good places to watch the Symphony of Lights include the TST Promenade and Avenue of Stars as well as the West Kowloon Promenade to a lesser extent on the Kowloon side. On the Island side, the Central Waterfront, Tamar Park and Bauhinia Square as well as some of the newer promenade development spots to the east and west. There are good views at some of the higher floor restaurants and sky bars on both side of the harbour as well.

    In short, my recommendation has long been to stop and watch the Symphony of Lights if you are around one of the locations mentioned above around 8pm at night. Otherwise, if you have other plans, just do that instead.

    The Iron Fairies is simply an iconic bar in Hong Kong. Every time I have been it has been very busy and I am told at the weekend the queues can take a long time. However, this is absolutely no surprise because the interior is stunning. It creates a really nice ambiance for drinking or chilling after work. This is made better by the fantastic staff- the drinks too are very good, but slightly on the expensive side. Everything about my experience was amazing apart from one crucial aspect of a bar- the music. The DJ was far from impressive and often did not even attempt to mix songs in, it was very choppy with songs cut out at weird places and no blending of new songs. This was quite disappointing as one would expect a bar of this stature to employ a decent DJ. The music selection was ok- there were some good songs but I was distracted by the mixing (or lack of). I look forward to going back and hearing a DJ mixing properly, because I have no doubt that will make this one of the best bars in Hong Kong.

    The Xiqu Centre is a purpose-built venue for Chinese opera performances and a hub for promoting Cantonese opera and other forms of Chinese traditional theatre. It is located at 88 Austin Rd W, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, which is at least a taxi ride from the TST ferry terminal but walkable from the Jordan MTR station.

    We watched Magic Tea House, which is a play that introduces Cantonese opera to people that contains excerpts from some Cantonese operas. It is a 90-minute performance, subtitled in Chinese and English and also uses robotics. We worth it to visit if you are in Hong Kong.

    The actual centre itself is magnificent and great for Instagram photos. I think it is great if you are watching a performance but I would not just make a trip out there just to see the centre without attending some event there.

    If you are in Hong Kong for more than 3-4 days then this is a fun little spot to add to your itinerary to see on Hong Kong Island. Make sure to leave enough time to get there because, as other reviewers have mentioned, it's only open for 30 minutes a day and the actual gun is shot only once exactly at noon. The officer stands and looks at his watch until it is precisely noon! A lovely little bit of history.

    The cinema's design is not common, just like a lecture room in school, and reminds me the day of being student. The seat is not comfortable at all. I think they forgo comfort to make you so focused to appreciate "ART". Not recommend to visit if the film or "video art" is being screened somewhere else.

    They say that laughter is the best medicine. With a year like 2020, the Riff has been the medicine I needed.

    I have already been to 8 shows and at each one experienced full body laughs that made my abs sore.

    The club is absolutely emasculate and the what sets it apart from the rest is the passion for comedy and attention to detail that the management has that makes each show truly entertaining. From open mics to headline events, the Riff puts on a great show.

    I’m proud to live in a city that features such tremendous local talent and the Riff does a top notch job of showcasing it. Feel proud Hong Kong, the Riff is a gem you won’t find in many other cities.

    Conveniently located in the busy district, a good place for casual drinks and to relax after a long day at work. A very wide range of drinks and food available. Very nice to step outside to the terrace for shisha. Classic and "old school" design (very befitting the atmosphere - good!) Highly recommended!

    The Tuen Mun Town Hall is located in the town centre next to the Public Library and between the Tuen Mun Park and the cluster of shopping malls in the area. It opened in 1987 and has since been the centre for cultural activities and performing arts for the northwest New Territories.

    The complex includes and multiple storey auditorium that serves as a concert hall, cultural activities hall and exhibition gallery where drama, dance and music events are regularly held. For major events at the Tuen Mun Town Hall, tickets can be purchased through Urbtix.

    I just went for Ding Ding Comedy night! It was an awesome event with 5 different comedians. They were all hilarious and it was a great time. $185 HKD if you buy the tickets before and $250 at the door. Would recommend for a great even after a fun dinner in Sheung Wan.
