It’s not every day you get inked between bites of grilled skewers and sips — but in Hong Kong, subculture knows no boundaries. On October 26, 2025 one of the city’s most stylish culinary-art crossovers returns: the Golden Gip x CENSU Crew Flash Tattoo Pop-Up, now in its third edition.
Hosted at Golden Gip, a modern Korean-inspired dai pai dong on Wellington Street, this one-day-only event fuses gourmet bites, body art, and subcultural energy into a multi-sensory experience.

This year’s lineup features six renowned tattoo artists from Hong Kong and Japan, including Yeeki Lo, Shigeo Kimura, New School Art, Who’s nosey, Gentaro, and Megumu.

Each artist will offer pre-designed flash tattoos, available on a first-come, first-served basis, so guests can walk away with fresh ink and a story to tell. Expect styles ranging from delicate linework to bold neo-traditional pieces.
Meanwhile, Golden Gip's kitchen, helmed by Head Chef Nigel Kim, will serve up a culinary journey with canapés and a complimentary drink for guests to complement the edgy, art-forward atmosphere. The venue’s interior, designed by Studio C8, blends wabi-sabi minimalism with nostalgic neon, turning the space into a visual feast.

Tickets are priced at HK$300 per person, which includes a drink, food, and a special gift for all attendees. The event runs from 12PM to 9PM. While walk-ins may be accepted, advance booking is highly recommended.
This is your chance to experience one of Hong Kong’s most expressive pop-ups, where ink meets local food culture, and every detail is designed to leave a mark.
Consuming alcohol before can thin your blood, increase sensitivity, and even affect healing. If you’re planning to get tattooed at the pop-up, it’s strongly recommended to hold off on alcohol before and after your session.
Date: Sunday, October 26, 2025

Shi Fu Miz Festival, Hong Kong’s pioneering celebration of underground music, art, and sustainability, returns on March 21, 2026, with a new venue, a new format, and a renewed sense of purpose.
After a one-year hiatus, the beloved cultural gathering reemerges at Tai Tong Organic EcoPark for a one-day experience blending electronic music, creative expression, and community spirit filled with wellbeing, while the opening party is set to take place a night prior.

Located in the tranquil valley of Tai Tong village, just ten minutes from Yuen Long, the EcoPark spans over a million square feet of farmland and lychee forests, having long been a destination for leisure and recreation among local communities.
Now, it becomes the venue for Shi Fu Miz’s next chapter, offering expansive natural surroundings and a deeper connection to the land. The 2026 edition will feature three distinct stages: the Feng Shui Stage, set outdoors on a grass field with a spiritual atmosphere; the Warehouse Stage, an indoor space with raw, industrial energy; and the Dragon Stage, which brings a traditional Asian aesthetic to life in an intimate indoor setting.
Photo from Website/ Shi Fu Miz
This marks a notable shift from previous editions held at Saiyuen Camping Adventure Park on Cheung Chau Island, where the festival sprawled across multiple open-air zones, forest paths, and beachside installations. The island’s bohemian charm and ferry-accessed remoteness gave the event a sense of escapism and adventure.
In contrast, Tai Tong offers greater accessibility and logistical flexibility, but with a more streamlined setup, downscaling to three stages, and condensing the experience into a single day. While the scale may be reduced, the intention remains: to create a space where music, nature, and community converge.
Photo from Website/ Shi Fu Miz
The weekend kicks off with an opening night on Mar. 20, 2026 at 宀 Club in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong’s iconic underground venue, setting the tone for a weekend of deep grooves and cultural connection.
Founded by FuFu Asia and La Mamie’s, Shi Fu Miz has built a reputation for curating eclectic sounds, from bass to house to techno and beyond, while championing wellness, sustainability, and artistic exploration. The move to Tai Tong reflects the festival’s continued commitment to environmental consciousness and immersive experiences.
Tickets for Shi Fu Miz Festival 2026 are now officially on sale via TIKS Asia. The Early Access Ticket is priced at HK$508 and requires arrival before 2 PM, while late entry will incur an upgrade fee to the standard door rate. The Student Access Ticket, also HK$508, is available to attendees aged 12 to 23, with free entry for children under 12. All under-18 attendees must be accompanied by a guardian and present a valid ID. The First Release General Admission is priced at HK$588, offering flexible entry throughout the day.

In celebration of its 160th anniversary, HSBC is proud to present the “HSBC 160th Anniversary Exhibition: From Stories Long Ago to Visions of Tomorrow,” an immersive showcase tracing the bank’s legacy and deep connection with Hong Kong.
The exhibition runs from Oct. 17 to Nov. 7, 2025, at the Duplex Studio, Tai Kwun, inviting the public to explore over a century and a half of history, innovation, and cultural impact.

Spanning six themed zones, the exhibition takes visitors on an immersive journey through HSBC’s rich past and forward-looking vision.
The experience kicks off in “The Journey Begins” zone, with a recreation of a 1980s reception, complete with the iconic uniforms of the time and marble-like counters — a nod to an era defined by fashion-forward elegance and exceptional service.
The Journey Begins | Courtesy of HSBC HKA Vault of Legacy | Courtesy of HSBC HK
The journey continues with “A Vault of Legacy” zone, inspired by the 50-tonne vault located in the HSBC Main Building. Behind its reimagined vault doors lies a collection of rare artefacts from the HSBC Archives — including the bank’s original share certificate from 1865, early customer account ledgers, and historic passbooks that chronicle decades of trust and continuity.

Next is “The Money Aquarium” zone, where origami sea creatures made from HSBC banknotes glide through a digital seascape — a creative tribute to the flow of currency and its cultural impact.
This is followed by the “Banking Through the Ages” and “1 Queen’s Road Central” zones, where generations of HSBC counters and HSBC Main Building are meticulously recreated to give a glimpse into the bank’s growth alongside Hong Kong’s transformation from trading port to global financial hub.
