Follow my steps closely and let's visit the artistic side of Hong Kong!

'Kai Tak Airport' was once the busiest international airport in the world, and even after its closure in 1998, it remains a legend in aviation history. In the Sky Garden of the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, there is a sculpture by top American contemporary artist Andy Rementer titled 'Ocean Companions.' The dopamine-colored artwork conveys the author's thoughts on 'harmonious coexistence between humans and nature' to us (the art installation is on display until May 24). The rooftop park on the third floor offers a 360° view of Hong Kong, which is believed to be unique in the city. There are areas designated as pet-friendly spaces, which are highly commendable. Transportation: There are several shuttle minibuses connecting the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal with surrounding subway stations - Kai Tak Airport is currently being continued through the AIRSIDE complex, which will carry on the memory of Hong Kong's century-long aviation history. 'AIRSIDE' refers to the airport restricted area, named for its location near the old Kai Tak Airport. Airside is a comprehensive mall that integrates entertainment, dining, and shopping, with a focus on the fusion of green environmental protection and art culture. Inside, there is a 'GATE33 Art and Culture Gallery,' which is currently hosting an exhibition themed 'Local Dragon Quest.' The exhibition features dragons in different styles, materials, and scenes, created by nine artists for the public. - The 'Dragon and Phoenix Hall' recreates the classic wedding banquet scene from the 80s and 90s in Hong Kong. 'A Hundred Dragons in Paper' by artist Hui Kai Kiu features 100 'Dragon Soaring' paintings on tissues, presenting the dynamic of dragons in an innovative way. 'The Saga of Dragon Tattoos' is interpreted by Hong Kong tattoo artists Siu Lung, CHRISSSS, PSYCATZ, and Lung Kee, each using their unique style to animate 'Dragon Tattoos' filled with Hong Kong flavor. 'Impromptu Dragon Swaying' by local Hong Kong artist Uncle852 turns the structural pillars of GATE33 Art and Culture Gallery into graffiti, hiding dragons within and combining contemporary with tradition in the 'Dragon Soaring Across the Seas' street style. 'Improvised Frog Dragon' is a super-mini retrospective exhibition by Hong Kong's pioneering artist Frog King, who uses the theme of 'Frog Dragon' to incorporate English and images into Chinese calligraphy. 'The Legacy of Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance' is displayed in a darkroom format, showcasing a 15-meter-long 'Glowing Little Fire Dragon.' Through the technological fire dragon, the traditional custom of the fire dragon dance is made known and understood by more people, thus being passed on. - 'Cattle Depot Artist Village,' built in 1908, is a Grade II historic building, formerly a slaughterhouse. The red bricks, black iron, and green windows and doors tell the history of this place. The village is home to artist studios. Some installations are scattered throughout the village, and the greenery adorned with the characters for fortune, prosperity, and longevity, as well as various dragon-themed window decorations, are all very interesting, making it a popular leisure spot for many. Address: 63 Ma Tau Kok Road, To Kwa Wan, Kowloon MTR: To Kwa Wan Station, Exit A, about a 12-minute walk - The cultural hostel 'Tsui Yee Mountain House' located in the 'Jao Tsung-I Academy' in Sham Shui Po is worth a stay! The open view and fully equipped room environment, abundant negative oxygen ions in the mountains, the quaint and serene architectural style, and the rich and thought-provoking art exhibitions have left the deepest impression on me. Address: 800 Castle Peak Road, Mei Foo, Kowloon, Hong Kong MTR: Mei Foo Station, Exit B, about a 10-minute walk
