5 of the best things to do in Hong Kong this weekend, April 24-26

Fret not if you did not manage to secure HK$30 (US$3.80) tickets for this year’s Hong Kong Cinema Day, as there are still plenty of events in the city to fill up your weekend itinerary. From time-limited menus of sweet treats to fun fitness events with some fluffy company, no weekend in Hong Kong will be dull. Here are five things to do in Hong Kong this weekend. 1. Dog Adoption Day: Puppy Yoga On Saturday, April 25, The Hive Sai Kung will host a fitness session alongside animal welfare organisation Sai Kung Stray Friends, inviting participants to practise their downward dog pose while enjoying the adorable company of puppies. This “Dog Adoption Day: Puppy Yoga” programme integrates an afternoon dog adoption session from 1pm to 4pm and a guided yoga session from 4pm to 5pm. All proceeds from the event will go towards helping more puppies find their perfect families. General admission is free for those who would only like to attend the dog adoption session, while the guided yoga activity is priced at HK$50 per person. Registration is needed for both sessions, and can be accessed here. The Hive Sai Kung, 5 Tai Mong Tsai Road, Sai Kung 2. ReKnot: Chinese Floral Button Art Exhibition Explore historical Chinese fashion at an exhibition at the Hong Kong Arts Centre. “ReKnot: Chinese Floral Button Art Exhibition” offers an exploration of traditional Chinese floral buttons crafted through intricate fabric knotting. Curated by Hong Kong artists, the exhibition reimagines this fading heritage craft through a contemporary artistic lens, emphasising the innovative elegance of traditional textiles. Having launched on April 17, the exhibition runs until the end of the month. Visitors may also take part in artist-guided tours offered in Cantonese, English and Mandarin. Admission to the exhibition is free, and more information on the opening hours and guided tours can be found here. 15/F, The Showcase, Hong Kong Arts Centre, 2 Harbour Road, Wan Chai 3. Fenxiang Pop-up Sale View this post on Instagram Coinciding with Earth Week, the Fenxiang pop-up sale on April 25 is a community-focused fashion event that brings together a collective of Hong Kong brands to offer a curated selection of past-season contemporary pieces.

Serene Coffee & Wine, 27 New Street, Sheung Wan 5. Human Resource With its portrait of modern-day corporate culture in Thailand, Human Resource will strike a chord with anyone familiar with the soul-sapping world of white-collar work. The film is written and directed by Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit (Happy Old Year), who crafts a work deeply connected to the economic, political and social strife that is increasingly part of today’s society. Nawapol sets up a world where the news is anything but cheery: the rich-poor gap is widening, microplastics are infiltrating human reproductive systems and there is an uneasy feeling on the streets. Amid all this, the film’s central character, Fren (Prapamonton Eiamchan), is five weeks pregnant. She is catatonic at times, with a glacial appearance brought on by a feeling of numbness that envelops her. Read our full review. Human Resource is now showing in Hong Kong cinemas.
