| Three Exhibitions Fans of Hong Kong Dramas Can't Miss. August coincides with the Hong Kong Pop Culture Festival, and together with friends, we visited the Hong Kong Heritage Museum in Sha Tin, bringing you a fresh and hot exhibition express~ . 1、【Continuing the Adoration: Leslie Cheung Memorial Exhibition】 Themed 'Only love and longing can traverse time and space,' the exhibition is co-curated by the Hong Kong Heritage Museum and three of Leslie Cheung's close friends (Chen Shufen, Zhang Shuping, Xia Yongkang) from his lifetime. Through trophies, records, old photos, and performance costumes, we are taken back to review Leslie's artistic achievements and his impact on Hong Kong's pop culture, commemorating the 20th anniversary of his passing. For the first time, four of Leslie's stage costumes are displayed in mid-air, such as the red cape from 'Crossing 97', the sparkling stone suit and red high heels; the white feather outfit and blue beaded jeans from the 'Passion Tour' and more. The entire exhibition hall is bathed in red neon light, as if he has never been far away. With a ticket, you can receive a free commemorative poster of Leslie at the exit of the memorial hall. 📍Exhibition location: Second floor exhibition space of the museum 📅Exhibition period: From now until October 9, 2023 2、【Creating from Nothing: Hong Kong Film Art and Costume Design Exhibition】 'The light and shadow on the silver screen are like an unlocked door, allowing us to easily break into another time and space, temporarily withdrawing from ordinary life.' Hong Kong cinema has always been blooming with diversity, and the surreal world displayed on the screen is inseparable from the efforts and contributions of the art and costume design teams. The exhibition, through a series of costume designs, draft drawings, industry tools, and scenes, leads us into the behind-the-scenes world of films, experiencing the establishment process of Hong Kong film art professionals, and feeling the professionalism and dedication of film workers. Because Hong Kong cinema does not have the habit of preserving costumes or props, the exhibits on display are all treasured collections gathered over many years. For example, the court attire from 'Curse of the Golden Flower', Maggie Cheung's ancient red dress from 'Hero', Wong Cho-lam's barrister's robe from 'The Sharp-tongued Lawyer', and Brigitte Lin's coat from 'Chungking Express' are all real costumes and props seen in Hong Kong films, appearing before our eyes, enough to shock me, who has been a fan of Hong Kong films since childhood. 📍Exhibition location: First floor of the museum 📅Exhibition period: From now until September 4, 2023 (Ticket price 10HKD) - 3、【Trendy Hong Kong 60+】 Located on the first floor, this permanent exhibition focuses on the development of Hong Kong's pop music, movies, television, and radio from post-World War II to the present. Through over a thousand exhibits, it tells the story of the evolution of Hong Kong's pop culture, leading us to discover the artistic characteristics and culture of Hong Kong. Here you can see Wong Ka Kui of Beyond's guitar, Anita Mui's wedding dress from her farewell concert, and more, feeling the different facets of pop culture presented in the torrents of history, with tides rising and falling, not to be missed~ 📍Exhibition location: Permanent exhibition hall on the first floor of the museum .

It's been a long time since I've been to Hong Kong🇭🇰 to see an exhibition. My husband came with me to revisit the classics. - Time has settled down into classics. The unforgettable are always classics🎬🎵 - It's been years since I last visited the Hong Kong museum🇭🇰. Actually, Sha Tin is quite comfortable😌, although it can't compare to the hustle and bustle of Victoria Harbour or Harbour City, it's very easy to find peace here. Slowly feeling, slowly living. That's probably why they chose this place for brother's memorial exhibition❤️ - I always feel that the pace of life in Hong Kong is very fast, and every time I come, I go to those crowded places. Today, for the first time, I had a different experience visiting an exhibition, and I felt peaceful and comfortable in body and mind. - When we arrived at two o'clock🕑, as soon as we entered, my ears👂🏻 felt so comfortable😌. It was music🎶 playing, so let's review the classics accompanied by the melodious singing🎬. - We saw brother's memorial exhibition, many of his classic clothes, shoes. And many classic Hong Kong movies🎬 and music🎵 from the 60s. - Classics are classics, paying tribute to the classics🫡. My husband still knows how to find a place that provokes thought and makes one appreciate the experience of seeing an exhibition even more.

Next stop, arriving in Hong Kong. It's my third time in Hong Kong, and this weekend was supposed to be about helping a friend with a credit card application. However, unexpectedly, it's Easter holiday, so it was a wasted trip. Instead, let's have a Hong Kong City walk. Perhaps it's because I'm Cantonese and grew up watching Hong Kong films, I've always had a special affection for Hong Kong. I can always find fragments of childhood memories in the streets and alleys of Hong Kong, warm and nostalgic. First stop: Sham Shui Po Apliu Street. I usually visit the Central and Causeway Bay areas in Hong Kong, which are bustling but lack some of the Hong Kong flavor. Sham Shui Po reveals the essence of life, stripped of the bustling decorations. Here I ate at Ah Yat Tofu and Sun Heung Yuen. Ah Yat Tofu is very generous with its ingredients, with a strong bean flavor and a light beany taste, but it's all sweet here, so be cautious if you can't handle sweet tofu desserts! (Personally, I prefer the softer ones). Sun Heung Yuen really offers great value for money. My friend and I ordered pig's trotter noodles, beef brisket noodles, and egg beef sandwiches. The noodles are very chewy and the portions are generous (the same portion and price are almost the same as in Guangzhou), the pig's trotter is soft and melts in your mouth, and the beef brisket is very flavorful. Compared to their signature dishes, they seem a bit ordinary. Second stop: Hong Kong Heritage Museum. To understand a city, you must first understand its history and culture. Jin Yong's martial arts novels and unique film art are important parts of Hong Kong culture. The artworks are also very interesting. It's hard to believe that these are artworks from 50 years ago. I recommend everyone to go and see for themselves to gain a deeper understanding of Hong Kong. Third stop: Hong Kong Palace Museum. Located next to Victoria Harbour, you need to purchase tickets at the self-service ticket machine on the first floor. A regular ticket costs 55 yuan and allows access to galleries 1-6. Galleries 7-9 require an additional ticket (the Palace Museum galleries are also inside). Most of the exhibits are from the Ming and Qing dynasties (I wonder if they were all 'taken' by the British army), and you can also see the opulence of the Qing era. There are also a few private exhibits. I recommend it to anyone interested in or with a good understanding of Qing dynasty history, as you can basically learn about the life of the Qing royal family.
