Art Lane in Hong Kong
When you think of Hong Kong, the first thing that comes to your mind is the tall sky scrapper buildings, stunning skyline, fast-moving urban life, but not a city with a vibrant artistic hub. This picture is changing now with the new art culture taking off.
If you have already seen our Sai Kung, street art blog - you know what we mean!
We came across another such project, ‘ARTLANE’ located at Sai Ying Pun on Hong Kong Island. This exciting, urban artsy project was initiated by Henderson Land (property development and land management), where more than 10 art pieces have transformed the building walls and alleyways into a tiny ‘mural village’.
To get a quick glimpse of what the art murals look like, check out our video below…
