The “Arts in Hong Kong Harbour Tour” guests first visited the Tsim Sha Tsui Harbourfront and took photos in front of the famous clock tower. They then boarded the traditional Chinese junk Dukling to enjoy the world-renowned Victoria Harbour skyline. Under the docent of the tour guide on board, the guests learned more about Hong Kong’s cultural infrastructure including the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Hong Kong Museum of Art, Xiqu Centre, M+ and the Hong Kong Palace Museum, and enjoyed a viewing of the large-scale art installation Ephemeral in West Kowloon Cultural District and teamLab: Continuous in Central Harbourfront, feasting their eyes on the diverse art experiences along the coasts of Victoria Harbour.
