3 Best Performing Arts in Hong Kong, China

Above Second

Western Fodor's choice
Known for its dynamic collections of graffiti-style art and illustrations, this contemporary urban art gallery in Sai Ying Pun is the only one of its kind in Hong Kong. Since opening in 2010, the gallery's rotating exhibits have included a mix of up-and-coming regional and international artists such as Daisuke Tajima, The London Police, and Pure Evil. You can take home original works or commission something new.

Art Basel

Wan Chai Fodor's choice
One of three Art Basel festivals around the world, the Hong Kong edition typically occurs at the end of March. The massive event brings together Asia's top galleries, plus lots of international big-names. It's an exciting opportunity for art lovers to witness large-scale installations, head-scratching paintings, interactive digital art, modern Chinese works, and insightful talks and panels—all in one place.

Hong Kong Film Archive

Eastern Fodor's choice

Don't underestimate the popularity of old black-and-white films in a modern auditorium—buy your tickets in advance, as these cliassic regularly sell out. The theater screens rarities from the impressive archive of reels dating back decades. Conscientiously curated film programs are often accompanied by exhibitions in a separate gallery downstairs, as well as lively panel discussions featuring film critics and directors.
