Arts in the City: Revisit Tai Hang｜Arts Workshops & Guided Tours
- Presented by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, “Arts in the City: Revisit Tai Hang” will be held from 19 September to 31 October 2026. Building on the success of the inaugural art walk “small valley TAI HANG” in 2023, the project once again brings the public to this small, charming neighbourhood on the north shore of Hong Kong Island
- Tai Hang is a place of criss-crossing streets and alleys, century-old Fire Dragon traditions, historic buildings, neighbourhood memories and the everyday rhythms of local life. Participating artists from “small valley TAI HANG” are invited to return to the community: weaving artist Zoe Siu will create a new art installation, while mixed-media artist Max Cheng and paper mache art sculpture collective Hira Hira will host handicraft workshops connected to the Tai Hang community. A "Mini Fire Dragon" paper-crafting workshop, inspired by the Tai Hang Fire Dragon tradition, will also be held, along with themed guided tours around historic buildings and community stories

Reviews
This activity allows you to experience traditional Chinese culture and learn more about intangible cultural heritage. The instructor is witty and humorous, constantly providing students with great emotional value. It feels very satisfying and enjoyable, and I learned more about the uses of various spices and the method of making incense.
This event was a wonderful experience. I learned a lot about incense, and the instructor was fantastic, providing great emotional support. Highly recommended!
It would have been better with more time, as the latter part was super rushed and we couldn't finish in time! But it was quite fun and a great way to relieve stress! Perfect for unwinding!
Booking through Klook is more convenient. The overall arrangement was good, and I really liked the small souvenir, but I felt the itinerary could have been a bit more compact and enriching.
The teacher meticulously taught us how to make the little fire dragon. The only minor issue was that the class location displayed in Klook wasn't very clear.
convenient location. humorous tutor. helpful staff. tense time.
Max's class is very engaging. I learned about different types of incense and made my own custom blend capturing the scent of Dakeng. It is a truly worthwhile experience!
it was really fun. we enjoyed it so much and the staff were all very nice and helpful
The tour was very informative and covered many unique spots in Tai Hang. The tour guide was thoroughly prepared, highly recommended!
This workshop is extremely fun and very therapeutic, highly recommended!
