Coming to Hong Kong is not only about eating, shopping and shopping, but also the experience programs we recommend will definitely not disappoint you.

Broadway Cinematheque

Opened in 1996, the Broadway Cinematheque is a landmark of Hong Kong's alternative film culture. Beijing Broadway Cinematheque is the first arthouse cinema on Broadway in Hong Kong in mainland China.

The Broadway Cinematheque regularly holds a variety of film festivals, including the "Hong Kong Asian Film Festival", "Hong Kong Korean Film Industry", "Hong Kong French Film Industry", "Hong Kong Gay Film Festival" and so on. Fan activities and sharing sessions are also held from time to time.

The Broadway Cinema Line has movies in all major and small cinemas in Hong Kong, but for an authentic Broadway cinema experience, we only recommend the Broadway Cinematheque, located next to the Yau Ma Tei Police Station. The equipment of the cinema center is not advanced, but the atmosphere is the best. In the window at the door, there are media reports of recently released movies, attracting many members of the public to stop and read. The first floor of the cinema is a ticketing hall, of course, you can also choose to use the ticket vending machine to purchase tickets, and the most convenient is to pay with Octopus.

On both sides of the ticket hall, there is a bookstore called Kubrick, a light food store and a film and television store, and the style of the shop is very much in line with the literary atmosphere of the film center. There are a lot of CDs of old movies sold in the studio. There are also limited edition movie posters. If you are a movie lover, the Broadway Cinematheque is worth recommending.

Dialogue in the Dark

It is a place to experience the life of blindness. Opened in 2010, the Hong Kong Dialogue in the Dark Experience is currently the largest audience in Asia. Similar experience centers have been set up in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Chengdu, but the Hong Kong version of the blind experience program is richer and more comprehensive.

The experience is very simple, and the visitor is taken into a completely dark arena, where they cannot see anything even with their eyes wide open, just like a blind person. The only thing you can rely on in the dark arena is the blind cane and the docent. The docents of the Dialogue in the Dark Experience Center are all blind people, and under their leadership, the experiencers will experience life as "blind". The experience includes visiting the park, going to the supermarket, taking a boat, crossing the street, watching a movie, ordering food at a café, etc. Feel the world of the blind through real experience. Almost everyone who experienced it was deeply touched after the experience.

In addition to the more basic dialogue experience in the dark, the experience hall also customizes the dark experience for couples and families. It is also recommended to have a secret night party, as the name suggests, the experiencer should taste the food in the dark. In addition, there will be experience programs such as secret birthday parties and secret fun.

Po Lin Monastery and the Big Buddha in Ngong Ping are well-known attractions that attract countless tourists every year. The MTR Corporation Limited also built a tour crane system to connect to Tung Chung, known as Ngong Ping 360, which was commissioned in 2006.

Hailed as one of the world's top 10 best cable car experiences, the Ngong Ping Cable Car is the longest twin-cable car in Asia with a distance of 5.7 kilometres in one direction and a one-way ride of 25 minutes. Ngong Ping 360 is the starting point for experiencing Lantau Island, where you can get a bird's-eye view of Lantau Island and see planes take off or land every few minutes at Hong Kong International Airport. Ride the Ngong Ping 360 cable car at dusk and have the opportunity to watch the sunset. Tickets can be purchased on-site and are cheaper than buying tickets online.

The Ngong Ping 360 cable car ends directly at Po Lin Monastery and the Big Buddha, and the Ngong Ping Market is actually a tourist area commercial street that sells all kinds of tourist souvenirs.
