City Inn Oct Loft

5 Best Day Trips from Hong Kong

"Part lifestyle park, part art mecca, OCT Loft is a great way to get a feel for the city’s emerging artsy tenor. Formerly an abandoned factory complex, the cultural center is filled with exhibition spaces, outdoor installations, design shops, bookstores, open-air cafés, and leafy pedestrian areas. The OCT Contemporary Art Terminal exhibits everything from installations to film screenings, photography to calligraphy from lineup of innovative Chinese and Hong Kong artists. Major festivals also take place throughout the year, including Design Week in April, the Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture in December, and the Oct-Loft Jazz Festival in October." - Kate Springer
