Keung To HK Tramways Free Ride Day
Oh yes, it's that time of year again when Causeway Bay turns into 'Keung To Bay' as fans of Keung To go all out to celebrate the Cantopop star's birthday. In addition to the massive concert that was held on April 26, where more than 6,000 of his fans filled the AXA Wonderland in West Kowloon, fans are bringing back the Free Ride Day on HK Tramways, inviting all Hongkongers to enjoy unlimited free rides on all regular passenger trams on April 30.
This year, four 'Keung To Trams' have been cruising around Hong Kong Island since early April. One of the trams, Tram No. 300, is also serving as what is claimed to be the city's only and the largest moving billboard. On the morning of April 30, a tram parade will also be held with the 'Keung To Trams' departing from Whitty Street Tram Depot and heading towards 'Keung To Bay'.

Part of the old Kowloon Walled City has reappeared in its original location
Hongkongers' fascination for the old Kowloon Walled City is still going strong, fuelled by the popularity of Soi Cheang's martial arts epic Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In. There is now a massive movie set exhibition of the 2024 film that has been constructed where the Kowloon Walled City actually used to sit, within what is now the Kowloon Walled City Park. The 'Kowloon Walled City: A Cinematic Journey' exhibition recreates key scenes from the film and is Hong Kong's largest-scale movie set exhibition to date. If you've seen the film or been to the previous Twilight of the Warriors exhibitions that were held in the airport or the Airside mall, you'll recognise iconic locations such as the No.7 Restaurant, the barbershop, the dental and bone-setting clinics, the grocery store, repairshop, and more. There will also be some new sights including a fishball factory, a communal well, and a plastic-moulding workshop. Care has also been taken to reconstruct the old precinct's narrow alleyways, with floor tiles repurposed from old buildings and a bustling street market that has been set up to present an authentic taste of the Walled City in the 80s. From the moment visitors step past the ceremonial flower board and through the iron arch designed to reference that period in history. The vibes are also enhanced by large-scale projections that display life in the Walled City through the day and night, accompanied by low-flying planes roaring over the area like they used to do in the past when Kai Tak Airport was still in use.

Visitors can now experience the Ten Courts of Hell at the Haw Par Mansion again
Hongkongers of a certain age might remember the Haw Par Mansion and its adjoining Tiger Balm Garden, a green space built in the mid-1930s by a wealthy Chinese-Burmese family that was later open to the public as an amusement park. The grounds were filled with sculptures and dioramas of scenes and characters from Chinese mythology, but the pièce de résistance for many was its gory depictions of the levels of hell. Those who have experienced it will remember seeing artwork of grimacing sinners being fried in vats of boiling oil, climbing a mountain of blades, being tied to red-hot pillars, having their tongues ripped out, and more. The Tiger Balm Garden was eventually demolished in 2004, but now, a whole new generation of Hongkongers also gets to go through this traumatic lesson on karma! The Haw Par Mansion guided tour is launching a brand-new exhibition titled 'Virtual Reality: The 'Ten Courts of Hell' of Tiger Balm Garden', which reconstructs the former fiery exhibit using a VR metaverse platform. Through VR headsets, visitors can explore the details of the old murals, as well as interact with them to learn about the cultural and historical contexts behind the Buddhist concept of hell. There will also be displays and video works to accompany this new exhibition. Interested visitors can sign up to join the guided tours of the Haw Par Mansion for free, held four times each day from Fridays to Sundays. This includes being brought through the private garden and the mansion's interiors, with highlights on its history and architectural features, before moving on to the Ten Courts of Hell experience. Find out more and enrol for the tours on the Antiquities and Monuments Office website.
