Hong Kong's biggest literature event is back at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre! Taking place from July 17 to 23, the 34th Hong Kong Book Fair will run concurrently with the Sports and Leisure Expo and World of Snacks, allowing visitors to experience literature, sports, leisure activities, and global snacks with a single ticket.
With the theme of Film and Television Literature, this year's book fair will offer a huge variety of books – from the latest popular fiction to biographies to children's books – as well as more than 600 seminars and cultural activities featuring renowned writers and celebrities to reinforce Hong Kong's position as an East-meets-West centre for international cultural exchange, while promoting a stronger reading culture in Hong Kong.
There will also be the Art Gallery, showcasing works from featured writers and acclaimed directors with everything from manuscripts and movie props to posters and e-books under the sponsorship of the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA). Over at the World of Art & Culture area, which will return this year also under the CCIDA’s sponsorship, visitors will discover an array of literary and cultural exhibits from around the world, including an AI-powered interactive installation allowing visitors to reimagine iconic movie scenes.
Furthermore, don't miss the return of the Eight Seminar Series, with sessions led by renowned authors, experts, and celebrities.
