Hong Kong’s iconic Lin Heung Lau is marking the end of an era with an unexpected late-night transformation—turning its century-old Central tea house into a rave for one night only.

Before the nearly 100-year-old institution relocates from its historic Wellington Street address, Lin Heung Lau has partnered with global music collective RaveDAO to stage “Dim Sum Rave” on April 18, blending traditional yum cha culture with electronic music in a rare, one-off event.

Founded in the 1920s, Lin Heung Lau has long been a fixture of Central, known for its communal tables, rolling carts stacked with bamboo steamers, and classic Cantonese tea house vibes.

While the restaurant announced earlier this year that its Central branch will move to Tung Ning Building on Des Voeux Road Central due to redevelopment, the upcoming event offers a final farewell to the original space- reimagined after dark.

Once the lights dim at 10 PM, the tea house will be transformed into a late-night dance floor, with their beloved dim sum fare stacked alongside pulsing beats. While the full DJ lineup has yet to be announced, the night is set to feature a mix of international and local artists, bringing electronic music into one of Central’s most storied dining rooms.

The event coincides with Hong Kong Sevens weekend and Web3 Festival week, drawing both local and international crowds into the city. Organizers describe the night as a collision of old and new—where dim sum, music, and Hong Kong’s cultural legacy meet inside a space that has witnessed generations of city life.

Tickets for the 18+ event are available via PLVR, with prices starting from HK$588. The dim sum rave runs from 10 PM to 2 AM, marking Lin Heung Lau’s final late-night moment at its Central location before the move. All attendees are required to present a valid photo ID for entry.

Stay tuned on Lin Heung Lau's Instagram and Facebook pages for more updates.
