Tsuen Wan: A Spectacular Destination Worth Exploring Twice or More

Tsuen Wan is an emerging destination for immersive travel, attributable to its multi-faceted characters evolved in an organic manner. It is where history meets creativity, intangible cultural heritages mixed with chic lifestyle, and vibrant cityscape immersed in natural scenery. #ddHK will continue its unfinished exploration of the neighbourhood last year, and extend its reach to enchanting places including heritage sites and country parks.

Sha Tau Kok: A Hidden Gem for Hong Kong Tourists

Sha Tau Kok is a township in the northeastern-most part of Hong Kong adjacent to the Mainland. It has been a Frontier Closed Area with restricted access for decades, but when it was progressively opened up for tourism in recent years, many visitors have been immediately attracted by the lesser-known history, culture and natural elements there. Apart from its unique attractions, Sha Tau Kok is also where tourists may easily access to the stunning nearby islands and villages, such as Lai Chi Wo, Kat O, Ap Chau and Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark, by water-borne transport. #ddHK will embark on a new journey to lead visitors to delve deeper into the offerings in this mysterious frontier township.

Tourism Experiences Curated by a Global Line-up of Creative Units

Continuing its mission to create new travel experiences through design and creativity, #ddHK will bring together a lineup of seven creative units from overseas, the Mainland and Hong Kong to inject creative elements into various venues in Tsuen Wan and Sha Tau Kok in the urban, heritage and natural settings. In addition, through crossovers with cultural and creative hotspots, heritage sites, nature attractions and local delicacies, an array of immersive visiting routes will also be introduced for visitors of different interests. The collaborating creative units include animation artist Coolman Coffeedan (USA), interactive public art and design studio ENESS (Australia), multi-disciplinary artist En Iwamura (Japan), floral installation artist Kiki Ji (The Mainland), contemporary artist Louis To Wun (Hong Kong), artist and illustrator Vivian Ho (Hong Kong), and knot designer Zoe Siu (Hong Kong). (Please refer to the Appendix for brief biographies of the creative units.)

Through cross-sector collaboration, #ddHK will also curate a series of exciting activities filled with local flavour, including themed guided tours, cultural and eco workshops, live performances, weekend markets, and many others, throughout the event period. Tourists and locals alike are invited to explore and experience the infinite possibilities brought by the two lovely neighbourhoods. Stay tuned for further information and event announcements to be made by the curatorial team in the near future.
