Whether it is making a splash at a water park in Discovery Bay or getting your ABBA on at the musical Mamma Mia! Hong Kong has your summer vibes sorted.

1. 100% Doraemon and Friends

Step into the whimsical world of the beloved robot cat in Tsim Sha Tsui East.

 

A Doraemon sculpture 12 metres (39ft) tall stands among several smaller life-size models in a free-entry outdoor area, making it a great photo spot. The ticketed exhibitions feature an exclusive screening of an animated short film by the team behind Doraemon, interactive themed rooms and replicas of the creator’s other original works.

Hong Kong is the first stop on the exhibition’s international tour, so fans in the city get first dibs on limited-edition merch.

Tickets for the exhibitions are already sold out, so make sure you act fast to snag your free entry to the outdoor area. Reservations open on Klook every Tuesday at noon.
