Balletic Street Scenes Enrich Journeys at MTR Wan Chai Station Through New Station Artwork PR021/20 20 March 2020 Balletic Street Scenes Enrich Journeys at MTR Wan Chai Station through New Station Artwork Commuters at Wan Chai Station now find themselves immersed in images of the fascinating streetscapes of Wan Chai District enriched with choreographed balletic poses and expressions. Produced by a multimedia artist Mr Jevan Chowdhury from Britain, a series of large-scale panoramic station art pieces entitled “This is Wan Chai” has transformed the lower platform of the station bound for Kennedy Town into a ballet performance stage portraying lively local street scenes. The artwork brings people to visualise daily life through the graceful motion of more than 40 dancers from the Hong Kong Ballet and the members of the public in iconic Wan Chai locations. Commissioned by MTR Corporation and jointly initiated with the Hong Kong Design Centre, “This is Wan Chai” was made in collaboration with the Hong Kong Ballet, Treacle Media, the UK’s Department for International Trade and Conran + Partners. It is the latest station artwork under the “Art in MTR” programme. At present, a total of 86 artworks are displayed in 52 stations. “The artwork showcases the uniqueness of Wan Chai in both kinetic and static ways. We hope this dynamic backdrop will touch the emotions of our daily commuters and bring smiles to their faces and energy as they travel through the station,” said Mr Andrew Mead, Chief Architect (ARBUK) of MTR Corporation. “We are thrilled to be part of this collaborative project that provides a ground-breaking experience for our passengers. The artwork transforms the experience of using the station and brings the character and energy of the Wan Chai District deep underground,” Mr Mead added. -END- About MTR Corporation Every day, MTR connects people and communities.

  • When Is the Best Time to Go to Hong Kong?
    Page 1 of 98 Chris’ Copyrights @ 2011 When Is The Best Time To Go To Hong Kong? Winter Season (December - March) is the most relaxing and comfortable time to go to Hong Kong but besides the weather, there's little else to do since the "Sale Season" occurs during Summer. There are some sales during Christmas & Chinese New Year but 90% of the clothes are for winter. Hong Kong can get very foggy during winter, as such, visit to the Peak is a hit-or-miss affair. A foggy bird's eye view of HK isn't really nice. Summer Season (May - October) is similar to Manila's weather, very hot but moving around in Hong Kong can get extra uncomfortable because of the high humidity which gives the "sticky" feeling. Hong Kong's rainy season also falls on their summer, July & August has the highest rainfall count and the typhoons also arrive in these months. The Sale / Shopping Festival is from the start of July to the start of September. If the sky is clear, the view from the Peak is great. Avoid going to Hong Kong when there are large-scale exhibitions or ongoing tournaments like the Hong Kong Sevens Rugby Tournament because hotel prices will be significantly higher. CUSTOMS & DUTY FREE ALLOWANCES & RESTRICTIONS • Currency - No restrictions • Tobacco - 19 cigarettes or 1 cigar or 25 grams of other manufactured tobacco • Liquor - 1 bottle of wine or spirits • Perfume - 60ml of perfume & 250 ml of eau de toilette • Cameras - No restrictions • Film - Reasonable for personal use • Gifts - Reasonable amount • Agricultural Items - Refer to consulate Note: • If arriving from Macau, duty-free imports for Macau residents are limited to half the above cigarette, cigar & tobacco allowance • Aircraft crew & passengers in direct transit via Hong Kong are limited to 20 cigarettes or 57 grams of pipe tobacco.
