5 of the best things to do in Hong Kong this weekend September 26-28
A zine festival, a pop-up offering Parisian perfumes and an opportunity to help clean up the city after the typhoon await you this weekend
Your itinerary this week may have been somewhat dampened by Typhoon Ragasa, but when the rain dies down and the sun comes back out, there is plenty left to do before Monday morning.
The aftermath of the storm means urban cleaning, making it the perfect opportunity to volunteer for a clean-up run. If you prefer to treat yourself after the rainy week, however, a boozy take on a classic Hong Kong drink might be the perfect pick-me-up.
Here are five things to do in the city to cure your post-typhoon blues.
1. Zine Yo! Fest
The Zine Yo! Fest is a celebration of the makers of zines – small-circulation magazines – and print art. It is running until October 13 at Heath Mall in Tsim Sha Tsui, offering a pop of colour to brighten up the rainy days.
The festival is presented by Zine Coop, an artist collective promoting zine culture in Hong Kong. It is also sponsored by Design Trust Ambassador, an initiative that offers financial support for art and design in Hong Kong.
Visitors who attend this weekend can explore local art at various exhibitions, as well as attend workshops and lectures on zine-making.
