The Hong Kong Palace Museum (HKPM) in West Kowloon Cultural District will open its doors on 2 July after five years in the making. The impressive seven-story building is a replica of Beijing’s Palace Museum located in the Forbidden City and will house over 900 works of art across 13,000 square metres. The museum’s nine galleries will showcase priceless cultural treasures from the Palace Museum including Chinese paintings and poems, calligraphy works, household objects and even clothes and utensils used by ruling emperors. Other facilities of the HKPM include indoor and outdoor public spaces, a museum shop, restaurants, an auditorium and activity rooms.

Tickets are available to purchase online at the Hong Kong Palace Museum (hkpm.org.hk) or West Kowloon Cultural District (westkowloon.hk) websites from 14 June.

A Tribute to Hong Kong!

Premium stationer and gift brand The Lion Rock Press has launched the latest in its range of luxury 1000-piece double-sided jigsaw puzzles. Entitled “Tribute to Hong Kong”, the puzzle was created by The Lion Rock Press Founder Claire Yates alongside art therapist Katie Flowers, by cutting phrases and images from The South China Morning Post’s Post Magazine (diligently saved by Claire’s grandparents every week). The resulting collage depicts defining moments, forgotten details and unique idiosyncrasies in the form of icons, characters, street scenes, wildlife, well-loved foods and other familiar memories of Hong Kong from over the years.

Find it at online at thelionrockpress.com.

Hong Kong Critters

Cockroaches, sand flies and mosquitos come to mind when you ponder HK’s creepy-crawlies. But did you know the city is home to a diverse population of over 300 bugs? In his latest book, Robert Ferguson takes us into the fascinating world of arthropods, as they’re officially known. A handy flowchart helps you to identify your bug, and a corresponding page tells you all about it. Stunning colour photography coupled with scientific detail and fascinating facts make this a fab reference book for all. The Bugs of Hong Kong is available from Kidnapped, Bookazine, The Lion Rock Press and from Robert’s website, wildcreatureshongkong.org.
