The most vivid memory that i can recall for this place is the experience of lining up for tickets for Inter-varsity dance competition (IVDC) when i was still a executive committee member of the dance society in uni; due to some stupid policy each and every dance society has to go to urbtix to buy tickets for their respective uni. Since I live on the island side, i have to wait here overnight until the box office is open. Aside of that, the rehearsal room on the 10th floor is also a place i visit often. With the mirror and barre installed, it is quite perfect for dance rehearsals to take place. However, since the location is rather convenient and the price is insanely low when compared to studios of similar sort, you have to book in advance and compete against other applicants in speed in order to place your booking. Seriously, can't they just use other rooms for non dancing related activities? Says the selfish me

You either come here by bus or take your private car. Parking can be difficult as the sports ground itself only has around 10 spaces. Still this place is very popular. Joggers do their rounds, running clubs do their interval training here, some rugby and football teams have their weekly training on the real grass pitch. Weekday evenings can get quite crowded with many people using the track. In general the facilities are fine. There are enough lockers to store your valuable items, there are enough vending machines and the toilets, changing rooms and showers are clean enough.

To get there, you can take pretty much any bus that goes through the Aberdeen tunnel - it'll definitely pass by the Sports Ground, as the Sports Ground is actually just along the road where cars exit the tunnel. I guess this Sports Ground is just like any other in Hong Kong. The track is 400m long, and there are clear markings at every 100m mark. The area encircled by the track is a huge grassy patch, where other sporting events like shot put or long jump can be held (there are two sand pits for long jump). The bleachers on the side can fit a whole school and more. I always thought the bleachers were really uncomfortable to sit on though, and the bleachers go quite high so it's always annoying if you need to go to the highest bench just to get something and come down again! There are your typical vending machines around with drinks like water, lemon tea, soft drinks etc. If you want something more substantial - i.e. food, there's a counter that sells ice cream, chips and other snacks. The colorful ice pops - the ones where you break in two and give one to a friend - were always a favorite among us. There are quite a few water fountains here too for you to refill your bottles. In my opinion, this Sports Ground has everything needed to run a successful Sports Meet - and on days where it's not rented out, you'll see athletes making use of the track for training. One thing though is that the toilets are not super clean here, but they're not too terrible I guess!

Unless you've been living under a really large rock, you've been to Hong Kong Stadium at least once…read morein your existence, probably during Rugby Sevens season. I was assisting a sports photography outfit so I got a feel of the entire arena (I was moving back and forth all the time at the sidelines). I'm not sure if you could bring in food during the Sevens, because the food here is underwhelming and expensive. The seats are typical plastic stadium seats but the atmosphere more than makes up for it. The entire stadium can hold up to a 40,000-strong paying audience (except for corporate seats). During the first two days of the Sevens matches, the upper levels rarely get full. On the last day, however, you'd be hard-pressed to find a seat there. Getting to the stadium can be done in two ways: one, you know the directions, two, you follow anyone that wears a costume. The rowdy South Stand is where most of the revelry is, full of drunken expatriates dressed in costumes that can compete in a LKF Halloween. It also has a notorious waiting list (5 hours) so make sure you come early if you want to be there. If you feel like going to the toilet, take your pick because there are 36 scattered across the stadium. Overall, the best time to visit HK Stadium is during Rugby Sevens as the atmosphere is really, really wild yet communal. Sweet Caroline...

Hong Kong Arts Center (HKAC), non-profit, performing arts, independent films…read more HKAC is one of my favorite arts organization in Hong Kong. This arts Center provides different kinds of arts performances, like sculpture and photography exhibition, visual arts, and performing arts. Tou can see all these arts performance or exhibition in those presentation spaces and venues. I also watch lots of independent films here, like some documentary and young directors' first work. I am impressed by the seats in agnès b. CINEMA. This cinema is not that big, but the interesting thing is you can see lots of names on the back of the seats. It is because, it is a funding scheme called "Name a Chair", seeking support for the renovation and equipment update of the cinema.It is a 5-year chair naming scheme.If you have money and want to give some support, then you can consider to join this project. It will be big deal! haha

I am not sure whether you have heard of this but not long ago, Hong Kong was once criticized as a…read morecultural desert. Though some still believe it is as teenagers are encouraged to study Business and are discouraged if they pursue Arts related studies. Regardless, Hong Kong does provide quite a few opportunities for those who are passionate about arts and culture. (It is the mentality of the mass that is difficult to change). The Hong Kong Arts Centre (HKAC) is located at Wanchai which promotes contemporary arts, visual arts, or arts education. Because of the convenient location, there are quite a lot of students coming here after school to learn musical instruments or read some books here. Once you walk in, you may see quite a lot of artworks on display at the Jockey Club Atrium. Apart from that, below the ground floor you may also find studios (The McAulay Studio for example), theatres (agnès b. Cinema) and offices owned by international or local art organizations. The tower is consisted of fifteen floors and there are galleries, restaurats, a language centre or even a cinema. The best part of this place is the Pao Galleries where it hosts year-round art exhibitions. Over the years, it has held quite a number of programmes including the Art Walk every year. With the opening of Art Basel earlier this year, I can guarantee you that Hong Kong soon will not be called as a desert for arts and culture. If you would like to know more about this place, the arts on display or even the programmes, you may also join the guided tour (both English and Chinese), the tour lasts around an hour and it is completely free of charge. This is definitely a better choice than spending your time in a café. So next time if you are nearby, how about indulging yourself with art and fine dining here?

The house itself was actually built in the 1930s and had been used by a former financial secretary as official residence. The Centre was situated here for a reason: this is one of the very few places where you could actually see all the core programme projects- the Ting Kau Bridge, Tsing Ma Bridge, North Lantau Expressway and of course the airport. This was a project that is still unmatched for size and we are now enjoying the fruits of previous investment. The halls are split into several sections which displays and demonstrates the various components to the core project. The visions seemed impossible back then but when you think about it: we are living the vision now. The airport has moved for some 15 years and everything has been in place for just as long. This bring me back to the point that this exhibition centre now seems obsolete because everything has been in use so long. I would hope that this exhibition centre could be maintained though some updating would be a nice thing to keep it relevant.

Absolutely pay the West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade and really the West Kowloon Cultural District Park that is emerging in this area a visit. We had cause to be in this area to attend one of the "Freespace Happenings" that takes place the second and fourth Sunday of each month from September to March in the Nursery Park portion of this emerging cultural district. What a great outdoor, open space for all of Hong Kong to enjoy. This was then how we discovered the walking promenade. Not super easy to get to, we took the MTR from Hong Kong on the orange line to Kowloon Station and kind of followed the signs to the West Kowloon Cultural District, that will also get you to the West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade. It is maybe a 10-15 minute walk, because you have to take the foot bridge up and over the busy tunnel road. Along the promenade itself, it is lovely. Seemed pretty clean and it was a great view of Hong Kong and the harbour. We kind of meandered around and just enjoyed the outdoor space. There were thousands of people out and about enjoying the day. Wedding photos were being taken, graduation commencement gatherings were around, picnics of friends, people signing as buskers to the public. There are some public toilets up near the nursery portion of the park as well. The West Kowloon Cultural District (as this whole area is formerly called) is in the middle of a huge expansion and build out of M+ Pavillion (run-up facility to opening of art museum itself), M+ Building (the actual modern art museum), Xiqu Centre (for traditional xiqu performaces and cantonese opera), Lyric Theatre Complex (dance & theatre) and Freespace (for concerts and events). So although the promenade is a great outdoor space, just wait. It appears it is literally just the start of some cultural greatness for Hong Kong to come in 2017-2020. So why not stroll over there and check it out now.

Once was during the daytime, and once at night. Both were enjoyable times! You could bring snacks and eat outdoors, or use your selfie-stick for some kick-ass photos. There are also bikes to rent, and relatively clean public toilet facilities. The place doesn't earn more stars, for me, for several reasons. One - because it's quite a walk to get there from the nearest bus stop (there's a large depot underneath Elements) or MTR station. Two - because it has so much unmet potential. There are major plans in the works for this area, and with its prime waterfront location and stunning views, it could be so much more, so I await the upcoming arts and culture complex with bated breath. Three - because the way to get to the actual promenade is, quite frankly, pretty ugly and run-down. Again, there is so much potential! But who wants to walk for 7 minutes past barbed-wire fences and multi-lane highways full of exhaust to get to a pleasant picnic spot? I'll be keeping my eye on the Promenade and hopefully it will transform into something amazing, earning many 5-star reviews :)
