Don't Miss 852 Mahjong Social's Monthly Mahjong Nights at BaseHall

August 06, 2026

852 Mahjong Social will host their August edition of their monthly "Mahjong Nights" at BaseHall 02 on Aug. 12, 2026, from 7 to 10 PM.

Tickets cost HK$250 per person, which includes a HK$100 BaseHall food voucher. You can grab tickets in the club's Instagram bio.

The event, set in BaseHall's BH02 Event Space, is the latest installment of the club's monthly mixer. Organizers said they'll lay out 15 to 20 tables, spanning a range of styles and skill levels, then match guests to seats based on pace and personality.

Beginners are 100% welcome, but complete novices should brush up first. Players need a working knowledge of gameplay, so rounds stay fair for everyone at the table. For guests who already know the basics and want to sharpen them, though, they say the club is one of the fastest ways to level up.

Beyond the mahjong, the three-hour event includes mini table games sprinkled throughout the night, with a sponsor-backed prize for whoever wins. There's strictly no gambling involved. Organizers have said the games are for fun only.

"We're really here for strengthening the connection, honoring the culture and building the community," the founders told The Beat Asia.

The event taps into a familiar problem for younger players: plenty of people want to play mahjong but don't always have a group to call on to play, and even fewer want to deal with hosting. It's also quite intimidating for newcomers to join the local mahjong scene where games move faster than beginners can follow. Their club aims to be the complete opposite.

"Some of our guests tell us that the locals are a little bit too fast and scary and intimidating, and we are very inclusive at our club," the founders told The Beat Asia. "There's absolutely no gambling, and we're just here to have some fun, meet people and play mahjong."

To book your seat and learn about more of their upcoming events, follow 852 Mahjong Social on Instagram.

Chi Lo on Finding Home in Hong Kong's Rich Natural Ecology

Chi Lo of Saiyuen on Hong Kongs Ecology 1

I was born in Hong Kong, raised in Canada, and have called a handful of other countries home along the way. As a third-culture kid — now a third-culture adult — I've never quite fit into a single box.

Maybe that's why, now that I'm back living in Hong Kong for the second time as an adult, this time with my own kids in tow, I've fallen for a version of the city that doesn't fit into one either.

The minute you step off the plane, there's a hint of something wonderful ahead: the humidity, the palm trees, the gentle breeze, that indescribable yet familiar scent. Follow that trail, and you'll find a Hong Kong that is more lush, more alive, and more mysterious than pop media ever portrayed.

Photo of Chi Lo, Sustainable Business Manager at Saiyuen Camping Adventure on the first day of her doctoral programme — LinkedIn/ Chi Lo

As I rediscover this city for myself, I want to bring you along — sharing what I learn, and helping you unlearn the stereotypes that paint a pretty flat picture of a complex city. Right now, I'm wonder-struck, and honestly a little overjoyed, by just how abundant and accessible nature is here.

I'm learning about Hong Kong's ecology through everyday life — trying to identify species of birds, insects, plants, and other critters that are new to me — and through conversations and workshops with people deeply involved in the field, across non-profit, academic, civil service, and private-sector organizations.

As a tidbit: did you know Hong Kong is home to over 3,000 species of vascular plants, 55 species of terrestrial mammals, nearly 600 species of birds, over 100 species of reptiles and amphibians, almost 250 species of butterflies, and over 130 species of dragonflies (AFCD). In the water, Hong Kong is home to nearly 6,000 recorded marine species — more than 25% of China's marine biodiversity (HKMPA).

For such a small area, the biodiversity here is truly astounding.

By day, I work at a campsite and adventure park. By night, I'm a doctoral student and consultant in the ecotourism and conservation fields. I'm neither an outsider nor an insider — which feels fitting, because I'm learning there's no single identity for our beloved city. There's something for everyone here, and something unique to discover every day.

Which brings me to sharing ways you can discover something new in Hong Kong too. Our backyard is vast, and there's much to explore.

CAVALLUNA Gallops into Hong Kong for Its Asia Debut

Last Updated:
August 04, 2026

Europe's most decorated equestrian theatrical masterpiece is finally arriving in Asia, and Hong Kong gets first dibs.

CAVALLUNA - Gate to the Otherworld will trot into Kai Tak Arena at Kai Tak Sports Park for eight performances on Sept. 8 and Sept. 10 to 13, 2026, marking the production's first-ever stop in Asia and first show outside Europe in its 23-year history.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club is the Exclusive Presenting Partner and Cultural Host, folding the spectacle into its ongoing event calendar.

Tickets are on sale now through Ticketflap and HK Ticketing online, ranging from HK$395 to HK$1,995.

If you're picturing a standard-issue horse show, think bigger — much bigger. CAVALLUNA has drawn more than 9 million spectators across 30 European cities by putting on a production like no other. Bringing together equestrian mastery and theatrical grandeur, the show follows Meerin, a young sorceress whose drawings come to life, as she battles dark forces (and her own self-doubt) in a story that resonates with most audiences.

Everyone's treated to a cinematic showcase of 54 horses spanning 8 breeds, from stately Friesians to elegant Lusitanos to pint-sized mini ponies. World-class riders Bartolo Messina and Kenzie Dysli headline the cast, alongside Italian newcomer Rudj Bellini.

Messina, a longtime CAVALLUNA favorite since 2014, is known for training horses entirely through liberty dressage with his group of horses, including Lusitanos, Tinkers, a Cartujano, and more. Dysli, a German-Spanish trainer who got her start acting in the "Windstorm" film franchise, brings to the stage her own liberty work and Doma Vaquera, a traditional Spanish riding style.

The centerpiece of the night is the Hungarian Post, a stunt in which a single rider balances atop two galloping horses while steering several more. Add in daring trick riding, a live dance ensemble, an original score, and elaborate handcrafted costumes, and it's easy to see why the theatrical production has become somewhat of a fixture across Europe.

"This is a defining moment for Hong Kong's cultural calendar as well as for our company," Johannes Mock-O'Hara, CEO of Apassionata World GmbH, the production company behind CAVALLUNA, said in a statement. "To be the first Asian city to welcome CAVALLUNA underscores the city's standing as Asia's premier destination for world-class events. We are proud to partner with The Hong Kong Jockey Club, whose legacy and commitment to excellence make them the perfect Cultural Host for this extraordinary production."

The Hong Kong Jockey Club is the Exclusive Presenting Partner and Cultural Host of CAVALLUNA — a signature highlight of its Year of the Horse campaign, which aims to honor the profound partnership between human and horse and to unite the community through thrilling races, international equestrian spectacles, and a special series of cultural, sporting, and family events.

As Official Equine Transport Partner, Cathay Cargo is operating a series of dedicated charter flights using its Boeing 747 aircraft to bring all 54 show horses safely from Europe to Hong Kong.
