In recent years, open waterfront co-working spaces have been widely welcomed by the public. As the Secretary for Development, Wong Wai-lun published his last blog today (26th). He pointed out that the Development Bureau and the Waterfront Commission have been actively promoting waterfront development. Hong Kong” launch ceremony, partnered with a number of local artists to put on new summer clothes for the six themed areas on both sides of the waterfront. The blog introduced the art installations they designed through a group of young artists.
6 waterfronts have launched new “limited-time”, including the “HarbourChill Waterfront Leisure Station” in Wanchai with the theme of midsummer hot air balloons, which has a large 9-meter-high hot air balloon installation. Installation designer Chen Dexuan said that this leisure station is a forest. The theme of adventure is to hope that tourists will feel far away from the hustle and bustle after coming here from the city center of Wan Chai. Assistant Creative Director Ng Chi-yu said that some of the installations are made from recycled materials such as tires, oil cans and plastic bottles. It is hoped that the public will be aware of the benefits of recycling while playing. In the pet-friendly “Water Sports and Recreation Theme Area”, it has now been transformed into a small town full of western style. Li Meixin, the creative director of Messy Desk, said that she is very happy to turn the works on the canvas into three-dimensional installations and put them in the public space, so that children can play happily and feel very satisfied. The waterfront promenade (The Connector), which connects Admiralty Tamar and the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, is transformed into a beach in the city. Liang Yingxin, the client director of the installation, said that their design concept came from the sun and the beach in summer, so they made a beach at the entrance of The Connector. A large beach floor with cabins and seats next to it for visitors to check in and rest.
In addition to the above-mentioned art installations, there are also other “limited-time” activities, such as designing a “racing track” at the vacant bus terminal next to “HarbourChill Waterfront Leisure Station”, holding a “Victoria Harbour Children’s Self-driving Tour”, which will be held next month. On the 3rd, it will be open to the public for reservations. The public can also make reservations for the “Victoria Harbour Duck Walking” water bike launched earlier.
