Discover the heart of art in Hong Kong

While there’s an assortment of dim sum in little wooden steamers before you, the roast goose and egg tart shop you’ll be visiting later is already on your mind. It’s enough food to give you energy later to comb through the Ladies Market in Mong Kok, the high-end stores in the many shopping mall complexes, or to find bargains at the Temple Street night market.

Filipino tourists have long loved Hong Kong for the complete experience it offers in only a less than-3-hour flight away. There’s food, shopping, cultural tours, family fun activities, and romantic spots -- all these in a visa-free region where you can have your pick of any of the four seasons.

There’s even more to look forward to this year aside from the iconic Hong Kong skyline lit up by the Light and Sound Show at the harbor, the theme parks, ferry rides, or the charm of the Central to Mid-level escalators. Hong Kong is poised to showcase its position in the art circuit and bring art lovers closer to international festivals through Arts in Hong Kong this year.
