Hong Kong’s street arts are not exactly famous, in fact, one might often hear Hong Kong is getting refers to as an art desert. With the lack of space in business districts such as Central and Sheung Wan, many do not feel like there’s even space to breath. Hong Kongers are so busy that they don’t even spare the time to look around them on their way to work, that they sometimes don’t even realise that they walked past some new art installations in the Central and Western district. In fact, there are some great places available for you to soak up some artistic vibes amidst the business centers!
