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.

Remember you can bring food, snacks, and drinks in this park for personal consumption, so you do not need to purchase food at the park. Also, remember to pay attention to the show and time schedules in the main entrance. We almost missed the younger pandas viewing. Unfortunately, there were at least 2 rides under maintainence (the polar express and another roller coaster that had a light purple colour). Almost all the rides have height restrictions. For kids around the age of 5 that has a height less than 122cm, then they can only ride on the polar express roller coaster and the rides in the kids area. In the kids area, there are only a small merry-go-around, a train ride, a playground, a rock climbing slope, and a maze. In the adults area, kids under 122cm can go on the adult ferris wheel, viewing tower, adult merry-go-around. Also, this amusement park closes around 7pm, so schedule your time wisely. Cable car is definitely worth riding on. The sceneries were amazing. It has a limit of 6 people per cable car. It takes approximately 8-12 minutes per ride. The other under the sea train ride only takes 5 minutes or so, and arrives at a similar destination. The under the sea train has no scenery other than the digital and light effects inside the train. We ate at the rainforest snack shack. It was HKD $88 per snack. We picked fries and chicken wings. If you buy in multiples of 2, then the price is around HKD $156 or so. I tried the clown roller coaster, and it was rather short. Honestly, all the rides durations are shorter compared to other theme parks that I visited. This is more suitable for families that love animals, instead of young people that want the excitement from rides.

Taiping Mountain came to Hong Kong without going to Taiping Mountain, but I went a few times before and took the cable car. This time I followed a few friends to climb the middle of the night. Traveling on the mountain to find the Wizard of the Moon, swimming the sea and playing dragons. Probably the route is Central Garden Road and Mid-Levels Escalator - Old Peak Road - Taiping Peak - Down Central. I have to say that Hong Kong is indeed suitable for mountain travel. This route is not too difficult. It takes about 40 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. I climbed up and saw the happiness of the night scene. I couldn&#39;t feel the drop by the cable car. Then I also met a wild boar 🐗 crossing the road.

amazing view going up the peak on the tram! it can be a bit packed depending on the time you head there and the seats require some strategic planning if you intend to catch good view of the scenery. there are a handful of eateries and shops to browse as well as opportunities to capture the skyline of the city.

Museum masters must punch in the museum wherever they go! There are few people. It&rsquo;s good to take pictures. Unlike other places, I don&rsquo;t know whether to take exhibits or shoot people! There are also a lot of things. The gold jewelry donated by well-known big men are beautiful.

M+ Museum is the first international contemporary visual culture museum in Asia. Since its settlement in the center of the West Kowloon Cultural District in 2021, it has become a new cultural landmark in Hong Kong. From the perspective of architectural design, M+ has been designed by a world-renowned architectural firm Herzog &amp; de Meuron. The building is covered with ceramic tiles, and its southern exterior wall is equipped with a multi-functional LED display system of 110 meters high and 66 meters wide M+ curtain wall. At 6 o&#39;clock every night, the LED lights are on, and the flowing visual culture is reflected on the seafront of Victoria Harbour. The underground railway tunnel is the most distinctive display space for M+. The unique architectural structure provides a different venue for the art exhibition. The collection is rich and varied. Among them, the M+ Hick collection is a treasure trove, which is more than 1,500 Chinese contemporary art donated by Swiss collector and diplomat Uli Hick, and has been created for 40 years. Through these collections, you can deeply interpret the development of contemporary Chinese art, such as Fang Lixuan&#39;s oil painting &quot;98.8.25&quot;, the elements of the skinhead and water, showing a sense of loneliness and powerlessness. There are also neon signs collected from all over Hong Kong, displayed in the exhibition hall of the Rehabilitation and Custody Center near the main entrance, the Niu Niu of &quot;Sen Mei Restaurant&quot; and the Rooster of &quot;Chicken Notes Sparrow Play&quot;, which showcases Hong Kong&#39;s fireworks atmosphere and M+&#39;s efforts in neon conservation. M+&#39;s exhibition is wonderful. He has held hot theme exhibitions such as Caojian Yaisheng and Pei Xuming. In 2025, the exhibition &quot;Guo Pei: Yixiang Tiankai&quot; shows the Chinese fashion artist&#39;s high-level custom works combining international fashion and Chinese cultural heritage. The Hong Kong Jockey Club Presentation Series: Picasso and Asia Dialogue exhibition will feature over 60 rare Picasso works and more than 80 famous Asian works.
