HAVING A MOMENT
Sai Ying Pun
“Sai Ying Pun is one of the oldest areas in Hong Kong, a place of great charm that the British military called home when they first arrived. It retains the feel of a genuine neighborhood but it is transforming into a vibrant art district with all of the galleries in the H Queen's building, The Pedder Building, Asia Society, M+ Pavilion, ParaSite, and McNamara Art Projects.”—Vanessa Guo, Senior Director of Asia, Hauser & Wirth Gallery
OLD SCHOOL CHARM
Sheung Wan
“It’s one the older neighborhoods, home to all the traditional Chinese herbal pharmacies, dry seafood dealers and pawn shops. Watching how Chinese prescriptions are dispensed artfully onto tissue paper, weighed on scales and checked out by an abacus is an experience in itself.”— Ivan Pun, Entrepreneur and Founder of Pun + Projects

"One Minute Sculptures" by Erwin Wurm
Recommended by: Shasha Tittmann, Director, Lehmann Maupin Gallery Hong Kong
