We ended up visiting the brand-new Hopewell Mall right after having dim sum nearby, as it looked like it was going to rain soon and we wanted to stay indoors. It turned out to be an excellent choice! They are having The Exotic Pets World Exhibition running from July 25 to August 18 at the 3/F Atrium. Operating daily from 12:00 to 19:00, it was an incredibly cool experience!
The main exhibition is free, featuring unique themed areas with rare species like giant tortoises, lizards, and aquascaped terrariums. It was incredibly fun and lively because the mall is very pet-friendly, so many people actually brought their own dogs along to check out the mall and enjoy the event!
The Mall Layout & Vibe: The mall itself is nice, modern, and very clean. Because it was the weekend, it did get a bit crowded, but that is to be expected for a popular new landmark in the heart of Wan Chai. It has a massive variety of shops, including massive flagship stores like Japan's Nitori, Toys "R" Us, and the massive kid-focused Kiztopia play area. Overall, it is a fantastic one-stop place to shop, dine, and hang out. Between the retail options, eateries, and cool family-friendly programming, it is a great addition to the neighborhood. Perfect for families and pet owners alike! read more
