Canton Modernpresents twentieth-century Cantonese art and visual culture in its full complexity as an important chapter in global modernism. United in a shared linguistic and cultural identity, the southern port cities of Guangzhou (also known as Canton) and Hong Kong were historically marginal in China. The birthplace of revolution, the two cities gave rise to a distinctive visual and artistic modernism, one shaped by cross-cultural interactions and tensions between conservative and progressive artworlds. Cantonese artists broke away from the elegant poetics of classical ink painting to forge a socially oriented realism, depicting subjects ranging from leisure and labour to war and disaster. Working as journalists and publishers, they exploited the immediacy and circulation of print, photography, and cartoons to intervene in and even reform society.

It was super fun. I bought the exclusive card and got priority access to 8 attractions, which included all the basic large-scale attractions and must-do attractions. The queues were okay, better than in Shanghai. I even tried many of the attractions twice.

Ocean Park Hong Kong

Family-Friendly Attractions

夏先森🎩Kyle🎏

The Ocean Park is a must-see when traveling with children. There are not too many tourists, so there is basically no need to queue. The supporting facilities are complete, with both marine science knowledge to increase knowledge and amusement facilities for excitement, which is both educational and entertaining. This is the second time I went there and I would definitely choose it again.

Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple

实在不可爱

Hong Kong Wong Tai Sin is a must-see blessing place to go to Hong Kong. Take the subway from Tsim Sha Tsui to get off at Wong Tai Sin Station. When you get out of the subway, you meet an older staff member and ask him how to go to Wong Tai Sin. The attitude is very kind to show me the way. There are many tour groups gathering at the gate, no tickets are required. Walk around according to the sign, Huang Daxian is not big. Many pious pilgrims are asking for a sign to pray for blessings. The sign is free. The sign is more expensive. You don&#39;t want to spend too much money to get the sign online.

Repulse Bay

Beaches and shores

Md Iqbal Hasan

Repulse Bay is a coastal gem that perfectly blends luxury, serenity, and scenic charm on Hong Kong&rsquo;s southern shore. With its wide arc of golden sand, calm azure waters, and elegant beachfront promenade, it&rsquo;s a dreamy escape from the city&rsquo;s hustle. Whether you&rsquo;re soaking up the sun, enjoying seaside dining, or strolling past the iconic statues at Tin Hau Temple, every moment here feels refreshing and refined. The bay offers stunning sunsets, gentle waves, and a peaceful atmosphere.

My first time at M+ was very impressed. With so many art exhibits, you could spend a whole day exploring. The staff were plentiful and happy to answer our questions. I took the free, hour-long guided tour at 11:30 AM. The tour included themed introductions and related artworks. The explanations were very detailed and high-quality, and were extremely valuable. I highly recommend it.
