Halloween starts early this year with a 3D light show projected onto the domed roof of the Hong Kong Space Museum on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront. The show runs from 20:15-22:30 daily until 31 October.
Characters include a hungry pumpkin enjoying local delicacies, a funky ghost DJ playing music through the 1night, a friendly pineapple bun inviting passers-by to pose for selfies, a romantic galactic spirit exploring Hong Kong on an iconic tram, and a party-loving bat toasting the Halloween season.
Also look out for the Halloween tram…

Japan beat Hong Kong 24-14 in Hokkaido to win the rugby league East Asia Cup 2024. The match was tightly fought but in the end, Hong Kong’s lack of playing time and international fixtures over the last six years allowed Japan to close out the match.
Congratulations to Japan on their victory. Congratulations to all the Hong Kong players and here’s hoping it’s not another six years until the next international.

They could have been you.
They could have been me.
And WE could have been them.
