Delectable dim sum, floating islands, and a one-of-a-kind skyline are just some of Hong Kong’s unique features. Get an eyeful of traditional Chinese architecture in Ngong Ping village, then take the tram to the tippity-top of Victoria Peak for unparalleled views. The rocks and gentle hills of Nan Lian Garden will bring you inner peace, as will a calming cup of tea in a Stanley café. Become one with everything at the Chi Lin Nunnery, a serene Buddhist complex.

This is a nice small art gallery tucked away in the middle of central near Central MTR. It hosts a number of art exhibits such as no less than Picasso, cubism, impressionism etc. The gallery seems to need better signage at the entrance to the Pedder building, but I spotted a few holiday makers trying to find it. It must be included so that it appears on the iPhone and android app as an attraction in Central for art lovers.

The building is worth visiting and the rooms are beautifully occupied, curation of the art is intelligently done. The art is very contemporary... very conceptual. Hard to grasp for some.... but a real pleasure for those with a certain affinity with the topic.

The museum has been closed for around three years for a major renovation and expansion project, beginning 3 August 2015. By 2019, we will herald a brand new look to Tsim Sha Tsui.
The Hong Kong Museum of Art (HKMOA) was closed for nearly 3 months due to the 4th wave of the Covid-19 pandemic here locally. However, it recently reopened (19 Feb 2021) with Special Opening Arrangements including the limiting entry numbers and opening hours to 10am to 5pm daily. With HKMOA reopened now, visitors have opportunity to experience the Botticelli and His Times exhibition (HK$30 per person) which includes 42 works from The Uffizi Galleries in Florence, Italy before the revised exhibition end date of 10 March 2021. This is an extremely rare opportunity to view collection of works by Old Masters of Italian Renaissance art, something we are lucky to have in Hong Kong in 2021. We managed to visit recently and found the Botticelli exhibition to be very good. The exhibition features artworks of Sandro Botticelli, Filippo Lippi and contemporaries who shaped the cultural movement of the Renaissance art scene in Florence during the 15th-16th centuries. It is well curated with the artworks arranged in logical manner through 6 gallery rooms. Lighting is understandably low to protect the works but good enough for photographs. The more important paintings include written summaries (English and Chinese) and there is a free downloadable audio guide which covers around 15 of the highlight works as well. Overall, we were very pleased with the HKMOA's Botticelli and His Times exhibition. We visited leisurely and spent an hour and 45 minutes at the exhibition, finding it an impressive follow up to the 2020 Turner to Hockley Sense of Space exhibition, which celebrated the long awaited reopening of the museum. That is two solid exhibitions of western art history and reason to be excited about the future might hold for important art showings at HKMOA. Note: The permanent exhibitions at HKMOA provide another 2-3 hours worth of rewarding art viewing opportunities. There are usually 2-3 other temporary exhibitions that are on display as well. These are usually free to visit and experience. You can find details on the museum website.
