Doraemon and his friends are set to light up the Hong Kong skies – again! AllRightsReserved (ARR) – the genius folks behind last year's famous rubber duckies – have joined hands with Fujiko Pro to bring a large-scale Doraemon exhibition to the city this July, marking a grand return of the beloved character after 12 long years.
To kick things off, the world's first Doraemon drone performance took place on May 25 to get Hongkongers excited for the exhibition opening. And now, Hongkongers are in for an encore as a second dazzling Doraemon drone performance is on the horizon – here's what you need to know.
When is the Doraemon Hong Kong drone show?
Since the weather in Hong Kong has been highly unpredictable as of late, the second drone performance is tentatively set for July 20 at around 7.30pm.
Where to watch the Doraemon Hong Kong drone show?
The public will be able to catch the drone show at Tsim Sha Tsui East, where members of the public and visitors can enjoy the show along the promenade. On the day of the drone show in Tsim Sha Tsui, part of Salisbury Road (eastbound and westbound) and nearby roads will be closed with temporary public transport diversions. Check out the map below to see where the show will be taking place:

What happens if there's a typhoon?
Since a typhoon is predicted to sweep the city this weekend, and drones are very much affected by wind and rain, folks are advised to pay close attention to the latest announcements on the Doraemon official website and social media platforms.
