It’s a long weekend in Hong Kong thanks to the Chung Yeung Festival on Friday, and there are plenty of things to do for those who opt to stay in the city. Here are our top five suggestions.

1. The Wheel of Time – Woe of the Seasons

The Chinese calendar splits the year into 24 solar terms according to the sun’s position.

This concert by the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, conceived by its artistic director, Yan Huichang, will transform the solar terms into a fascinating musical experience using a combination of Chinese orchestral music and digital technology.
