There’s also a spacious piazza, with 4 designated sections for outdoor exhibitions and concerts. Some smaller performances are also free to enter, especially in the afternoon.

Located in Tsim Sha Tsui, the Hong Kong Cultural Center is within a 5-minute walk of the MTR Tsim Sha Tsui Station on the Tsuen Wan Line. It’s also where the Hong Kong International Film Festival takes place – hundreds of world-famous actors and directors gather for a night of film screenings in the city.
