Don’t miss out on these cool underground shows and comedy events this weekend
It’s only three weeks until Christmas and we’re actively planning different fun things to do this weekend in Hong Kong (and next weekend and the week after) until we get there. Since the weather is getting cosier and not boiling hot anymore, it’s the best time to take a short break from Hong Kong – think Shenzhen, Macau or even Peng Chau which is only 40 minutes away from Central. And if you want to stay in the bustling city, then we’ve a list for you.
