A magnificent mix of old and new, a dazzling fusion of East and West, Hong Kong is a compact global city.

It is a thriving arts and cultural hub. Orchestras, jazz ensembles, film and art festivals, international acts, local super stars and street performers offer a feast of events throughout the year.

A variety of arts festivals manifest the diversity and vibrancy of Hong Kong's cultural life. On the calendar are Hong Kong Arts Festival, Hong Kong International Film Festival and Le French May in spring, Chinese Opera Festival and International Arts Carnival in summer, and, in alternate autumns, New Vision Arts Festival and World Cultures Festival.

Those keen on performing arts will be spoilt for choice in the city that boasts nine major groups and nearly 1 000 troupes, staging over 8 000 performances, which draw millions every year.

Hong Kong also celebrates with great enthusiasm traditional festivals such as the Lunar New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival, Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance, Cheung Chau Bun Festival and Dragon Boat Festival.

Sports fans have their pick of a host of world-class events – Hong Kong Sevens, Hong Kong Marathon, Hong Kong Golf Open , Formula E Race, Volvo Ocean Race and for horse-racing enthusiasts, Hong Kong International Races, to name a few.

Hong Kong has two world-class theme parks. Ocean Park Hong Kong, featuring spectacular seaside and cliff-side attractions connected by cable car, is adding an all-weather indoor-outdoor waterpark, which is expected to be completed in the first half of 2019. The two hotels are scheduled for completion in 2018 and 2021 respectively. 

Hong Kong Disneyland Resort is one of the most popular and best themed resorts in Asia, featuring more than 100 attractions. The much-anticipated “Iron Man Experience” and the “Disney Explorers Lodge” resort-style hotel were launched in 2017. The construction works for the new attractions under the expansion and development plan at the Phase 1 site of the resort is now under way. The plan will bring new attractions to the resort progressively from 2018 to 2023.

There's a lot happening in Asia's world city.
