The Forest That Built Hong Kong: On Bamboo and the City It Raised 鉅細竹藝在民間

Hong Kong is well known as a concrete jungle of magnificent towers. But long before the concrete arrived, there was another kind of jungle—the bamboo groves that have for millennia colonized the hillsides of southern China, their hollow stems rustling in the wind like a thousand quiet conversations, captured in Ang Lee’s film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. It is one of the most beautiful ironies in the built history of our city: that the jungle of steel and glass rising from Victoria Harbour was erected, storey by storey, decade by decade, by a forest of bamboo.

Slow Bloom: Kejie Lin’s Gongbi Gardens 精耕細美

Lin describes her work as a meeting of memory, the present moment and imagination. Rooted in Chinese artistic traditions and rigorous technique, her practice has also been shaped by years abroad, carrying her beyond inherited forms into a language of her own. “Memory belongs to a fixed past, while the contemporary is constantly changing. And I like change,” she says.

Small Wonders: Artist Pui Wan Lim Crafts Miniature Scenes from Malaysian Street Life 袖珍模型建構昔日情懷

There is an intensity to the miniature worlds created by Pui Wan Lim of Picoworm Miniature. Each tiny scene – a traditional kopitiam coffee shop, a provision store, a kitchen table – is built with painstaking care yet feels lived in as if someone has just stepped away. The streets, signs, furniture and smallest objects hold fragments of memory, linking family history, local culture and her own imagination. For diaspora families, these miniatures are more than delicate objects: they are a way to hold on to places and routines that no longer exist around them.

At Home in the Forbidden City: The Palace MULI 改造胡同生活
At Home in the Forbidden City: The Palace MULI 改造胡同生活

On a quiet lane just east of Beijing’s Forbidden City, an old temple opens in a sequence of courtyards and chambers that feels uncannily like a house. You step off the street into a stone‑paved siheyuan, the city’s classic courtyard layout, and only gradually realize that the “home” you’re walking through is, in fact, a showroom. It’s The Palace MULI, a 500‑year‑old building restored and reimagined by North America design studio Yabu Pushelberg for MULI, a rising Chinese smart‑home brand intent on defining how a new generation wants to live.

Francesco Lietti: Painting Cities, Layer by Layer 彩色旅圖
Francesco Lietti: Painting Cities, Layer by Layer 彩色旅圖

Francesco Lietti did not come to painting through art school. He started in the corners of a shared house in south London, working on whatever surfaces were at hand. As a child he had always drawn and painted, but without formal lessons. What he did have, he says, was imagination. For years he painted in bursts, then stopped for months at a time. In 2001, he began taking apart old furniture, painting the boards and hanging them on the walls. That small, practical decision gave him both material and space and turned painting from an occasional diversion into a habit.

LABEG: Making Time Out of Paper 手造紙製陀飛輪
LABEG: Making Time Out of Paper 手造紙製陀飛輪

I have known Hong Kong–based artist Gabriel Lau, better known as LABEG, for long enough to remember him before he had the words for what he was. Before the Instagram following. Before Watches & Wonders in Geneva. Before the 22‑month waitlist that now trails behind him like a comet’s tail. I knew him in the years when the art was just an itch he couldn’t name, and the watches were a longing he couldn’t afford. We were younger then, and the world was much smaller: church basements, late‑night hotpots, the kind of easy warmth you only know when you don’t yet realize it is passing.

Hayley Chiu’s Crowded Rooms 在懵懂中見澄明：趙之希
Hayley Chiu’s Crowded Rooms 在懵懂中見澄明：趙之希

A young woman sits alone in a small room.  Around her, the space is packed: lucky cats, red lanterns, mahjong tiles and painted carp. At first the scene looks light and playful, almost like a cartoon. Look longer and the scene tightens. The room feels less like decor and more like a mind crowded with memory. These are the kinds of interiors that Canadian artist Hayley Chiu returns to in her work, not as decoration but as a way to think about identity, home and the pull of Hong Kong from far away.

Flowers play a central role in celebrations across cultures, serving as symbols of love, prosperity, purity, and joy. Their role in the decor for weddings, festivals, and milestone events reflect deep-rooted traditions and evolving modern practices. In Chinese culture specifically, flowers carry deep symbolic meanings grounded in history, philosophy, art, literature, and traditional values, and are often chosen for celebrations like weddings and Chinese New Year based on their respective auspicious connotations.

Modern Dah Kum: Tradition Keeper and Show Runner 大妗姐

In the intricate world of Chinese weddings, few roles carry the weight of heritage, superstition, and social etiquette like the Dai Kam (大妗)—a traditional female wedding emcee and consultant often tasked with orchestrating rituals, offering blessings, and ensuring customs are upheld properly. Literally known as “the elder auntie” (Dai Kam Jie 大妗姐), the Dai Kam is considered the indispensable soul of a Chinese wedding, a role traditionally filled by an older woman entrusted with guiding the couple through the complex rites. Once a figure closely associated with older generations and conservative values, the Dai Kam has evolved in recent years.
