Part of the old Kowloon Walled City has reappeared in its original location
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.

Jeremy Clarkson reveals his very on-brand response to security after getting caught up in JD Vance's no-fly zone during his trip to the Cotswolds
Jeremy Clarkson has revealed his response to a security man after his drone got caught up in JD Vance 's no-fly zone during the US Vice President's trip to the Cotswolds. The zone was set up for security reasons during Mr Vance's residence in the hamlet of Dean this August. But Clarkson revealed the restriction interrupted the filming of his hit television programme, Clarkson's Farm, as he uses a drone to shoot certain scenes. Detailing his frustration in The Times, the presenter revealed his brief conversation with one of Mr Vance's security guards, who asked him: 'Is that your drone?' Clarkson replied, 'Yes', to which the security man responded: 'You aren't allowed to fly that today.' In a very brief and on-brand response, Clarkson replied: 'F*** off' - to which the guard said: 'OK.' Clarkson previously posted a picture on Instagram showing the no-fly zone, including his own farm, Curdle Hill Farm - also known as Diddly Squat. The TV star captioned the map: 'The JD Vance no-fly zone. We are the pin. So on the downside, no drone shots today. On the upside, no annoying light aircraft.' On Instagram, Clarkson said that the one mile no fly zone around Vance's Cotswolds manor house rental is preventing Amazon Prime drone cameramen from doing their job The Vice President's visit to the Cotswolds with his family has attracted mass criticism among locals, who complained of disruption - while left–leaning protesters flocked to the area. Clarkson's right hand man Kaleb Cooper complained that the extra security assisting Mr Vance had derailed him from his own farming duties. The farmhand – who has his own land and has spun out a successful entertainment career of his own – said his wheat transportation was held up by the convoy as it passed through Chipping Norton. He also slammed Mr Vance for his conspicuous presence in the area, writing on Instagram: 'My wheat got wet in the trailer last night as the convo stopped me in the rain in Chippy. 'I could easily have went on my way and got it in the shed without getting in the way.' Adding several laughing emojis, he noted: '(If) he had just drove around in a VW Polo nobody would know who he was.' The Daily Mail revealed the close proximity of Mr Vance's manor house rental to Clarkson's farm last week. The enormous property, Dean Manor, is located in a tiny hamlet of just 12 houses in Oxfordshire, and was picked out by US secret service personnel because of its remote secure location. Staff bringing in Vance's suitcases and boxes as he and his family enjoy a summer in the Cotswolds Stone walls 15ft tall protect its immaculately manicured six–acre gardens. The house, which was built 1702 in the reign of Queen Anne, has been surrounded by teams of US secret service operatives dressed in regulation navy blue sports jackets and khaki chino trousers who have been guarding the property around the clock. Mr Vance is understood to have been forced to cancel a dinner reservation at a trendy Cotswolds gastro-pub after woke staff threatened to walk out if he showed up. The fashionable Bull pub – which last month entertained former US presidential Democrat candidate Kamala Harris – had to cancel a reservation Vance made because staff refused to serve him. The suggestion that woke staff had refused to wait on the right-wing Republican swept local communities earlier this week - before being run by gossip site Popbitch. The pub previously declined to comment in response to media queries to confirm or deny that they had cancelled the VP's planned dinner.

Hong Kong is super superstitious
TATSUKI RYO is the finest diviner since Nostradamus, in the view of many Hong Kongers. In 1999 the Japanese manga artist published a collection of supposedly prophetic dreams warning of a 'great disaster, year 2011, month 3.' In March 2011 Japan suffered from an earthquake, tsunami and the Fukushima nuclear meltdown; perhaps 18,000 people died. So when her manga predicted that a mega-tsunami would strike Japan on July 5th 2025, it caused alarm.
