【Activating the Senses of Taste and Smell】

Begin your journey at the “Five Senses Natural Bookstore” by activating your senses of taste and smell with a tea-tasting workshop hosted by yú teahouse. Thought tea was only about the taste? Think again! On this tour of tea appreciation, learn to use your five senses - vision, sound, smell, taste, and touch - to truly savor the beauty behind every cup of tea. Dive deep into the five major categories of tea, namely green, white, oolong, black, and dark, and master the art of tea appreciation.

【Music Entertainment】

Music, like reading, is an indispensable necessity in people’s lives. The event will feature live musical performances by local literary singer Cath Wong, local male singer Wilson Ng, a cappella group SENZA A Cappella, DJs from Hong Kong Commercial Radio, and more! Audience members are guaranteed a wonderful time of appreciating the pure essence of music. Furthermore, the author of “Walking in the City”, Sampson Wong, will host a book sharing session, taking readers on a tour of Hong Kong and exploring the city’s daily life from the perspectives of architecture, pathways, spaces, information, and nature. Also, Ungoogoo Story House founder Cancanma is organising a story corner for families – “Anything and Everything”. The humorous picture books help stimulate children’s five senses and ignite their creativity.

【Stimulating Vision】

The eyes are our windows to the outside world. On the event day, there will be a selection of works from the “Animation Support Program,” showcasing a diverse range of unique and creative animated works from around the world. During the “Late-Night Film Marathon,” enjoy the animated film “Flee.” The film, which combines historical footage with animation to present a true story, was nominated for Best Animated Feature, Best Documentary Feature, and Best International Feature Film at the 94thAcademy Awards.
