Yuja Wang fans’ woes eased by brilliant Mahler Chamber Orchestra in Brahms double bill

South China Morning Post - Nov 13, 2026

It was an...

How the epic Big Timer films dominated Hong Kong’s early 1990s box office

Crime may not pay, but it has historically dominated the Hong Kong box office. Local films exploring the treacherous underworld of triad gangs, criminals and police officers have captivated audiences since the 1970s, when foundational works such as Ng See-yuen’s Anti-Corruption (1975) and Leong Po-chih’s Jumping Ash (1976) ignited the genre. Many Hong Kong crime films have equivocated on moral issues, operating in a grey zone where police can be as bad as the criminals. That was never truer than...

Chinese Culture Festival 2026 in Hong Kong turns retold legends into shared discovery

During a Hong Kong workshop on the traditional Chinese diabolo, or Chinese yo-yo, a Korean father was reminded of the paengi, the string-whipped spinning top he played with as a child. An elderly woman even stood up from her wheelchair to try the diabolo herself. Such moments captured the spirit that the Chinese Culture Festival 2026 was created to inspire, according to Veron Lam, chief manager of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department’s Cultural Presentations Section. “What makes this...

Style Edit: Franck Muller unveils Lady Imperium Bloc in Hong Kong’s K11 Musea

There’s a reason Franck Muller is known as the master of complications; since 1991, the independent Swiss watchmaker has repeatedly been responsible for intensely technical creations that have pushed back the boundaries of horological possibility. But the house is equally noteworthy for its unique blend of traditional Swiss know-how with international retro aesthetic influences, particularly from the US. The Imperium Bloc, introduced in April this year, embodies this legacy with its distinctive...

Exploring Peru on Belmond’s Andean Explorer, voted the world’s best train

I started my first trip to Peru in the south at over 2,000 metres above sea level. Peru’s second-most populous city, Arequipa – nicknamed the White City for its striking buildings made from sillar, a white volcanic rock – looks like a city frozen in time. It certainly feels that way coming off a long and arduous journey from Hong Kong, but I digress; in spite of traversing multiple time zones to get here and forgetting what day of the week it is, I land on a weekend of celebrations marking...
