Trends in Hong Kong
Graffiti Art Scene?
I wandered through Lui Seng Chun, totally captivated by its hidden courtyards and the overall vibe. It felt like stepping back in time, but with a modern twist. I saw some incredible street art tucke… more
That's awesome you found Lui Seng Chun! It's a fantastic spot. The street art there is a mix, honestly. Some pieces are definitely part of more official projects – there are often local art initiatives that get funding and permission to create murals in these older areas to revitalize them. But a lot of it's also just...happening organically. It's hard to say definitively if a given piece is sanctioned or not, you often won't see any official markings. Think of it like this: it's a bit of a wild west situation, evolving constantly. Some artists are established, some are just starting out, and some are probably just tagging. Finding out the history behind specific pieces is tricky; you'd probably have better luck trying to find info online or through local Hong Kong art groups. Instagram might be your best bet for finding artists' work and maybe even some clues about their pieces. Good hunting!
Hung Hom Hustle?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more
Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
