Two Murals by Artists with Disabilities Brighten Up Food Street @ Fashion Walk
Interactive Workshops and Sharing Sessions Explore the Boundless Possibilities of Creativity
Exclusive "CHEER-TOMATO" Plushies and Hang Lung e-Gift Vouchers Giveaways Starting This June
HONG KONG, June 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Creativity knows no limits! As a fashion and culinary landmark in Hong Kong, Fashion Walk is elevating its "CHEER" by embracing the power of creative arts. In collaboration with the Arts with the Disabled Association Hong Kong (ADAHK), "CHEER Creative Art Weekend" will be held on June 7– 8, 2025. The event will feature mural artworks and interactive workshops led by talented artists with disabilities, along with sharing sessions that offer insight into their personal journeys. This initiative aims to enrich the Causeway Bay community with artistic vibrancy and foster meaningful cultural exchange.
Artists with Disabilities Showcase Creativity and Talent through Murals at Food Street@Fashion Walk
In celebration of Hang Lung's 65th anniversary, Fashion Walk has partnered with two local artists with disabilities to create stunning large-scale murals. These works of art reflect the artists' personal stories, while celebrating the cultural evolution of Causeway Bay, adding a uniquely Hong Kong touch to Food Street@Fashion Walk, and enriching the area with a vibrant artistic atmosphere.
Hearing-impaired artist Tong Wing-yin drew inspiration from the nostalgic streetscapes and transformation of Causeway Bay. Her mural, "Streets of Old Causeway Bay," features iconic landmarks such as the former Daimaru and Matsuzakaya department stores, honoring Hang Lung's significant role in shaping the district's fashion and cultural identity.
The second mural, "Shine Bright! Let's Move!" by artist Cheng Pui-man—who is nearly completely deaf—reflects her deep passion for rugby and the inspiration she draws from sports. The artwork bursts with energy, showcasing three sports themes brought vividly to life through bold color contrasts and dynamic composition. Both murals are now on display at Art Lane, Food Street@Fashion Walk. The public is warmly invited to explore, take photos, and support the incredible talent of local artists.
Sharing Life Stories & Connecting the Community through Art
Luk Pui-yung, a talented artist born without arms, will share her inspiring personal story and artistic journey. After completing her studies in art and design, Luk dedicated herself to mastering traditional Chinese painting, ink wash, and calligraphy. Through her expressive brushwork, she invites the public to witness the resilience and beauty of life from her perspective.
In addition, several artists with disabilities will lead a variety of engaging themed interactive workshops, including: Pictures of Japan: Washi Tape Collage Workshop, Super-Adorable Panda Wool Felt 3D Painting Workshop, The 'God's Eye' Weaving Workshop and Punch Needle Embroidery Felt Coaster Workshop. These sessions aim to foster creativity and strengthen community connections through the power of art. Everyone is welcome to participate! As part of the event, the ADAHK will hold an on-site charity sale of cheongsam-style aprons featuring artwork created by artists with disabilities. All proceeds will go towards ADAHK's social enterprise, Artlink, which empowers artists with disabilities to showcase their talents and contribute meaningfully to society.

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital travel platform Agoda reveals that Vietnam is becoming an increasingly popular year-end travel choice for families in the region and beyond. Based on searches made between September and November 2025 for stays during December 2025 and January 2026, Agoda recorded a 30% increase in family travel interest to Vietnam compared with the same period the previous year.
Agoda data shows that Vietnam is attracting more international families than ever this winter holiday season. South Koreans take the lead as the top market interested in traveling to Vietnam in December and January, with families from India, Singapore, Australia, and Malaysia rounding out the top five. Notably, Agoda reported that Indian families showcased the highest growth in travel interest to Vietnam during this period, with a 186% increase in searches. Malaysians also, are expressing strong growth in interest, with a 74% increase in searches, highlighting Vietnam's appeal as a family destination in Southeast Asia and beyond.
Families are choosing Vietnam for its storied culture and cuisine, diverse landscapes, and abundance of family-friendly resorts and attractions.
Phu Quoc Island leads as the most sought-after destination among international family travelers with a 47% increase in searches, popular for its sandy beaches, calm waters, and nature parks ideal for multi-generation vacations. Da Nang follows with 42% growth in travel interest, noted for its beaches, soft adventure activities, and access to Ba Na Hills theme park. Nha Trang comes in third place, remaining a favorite for its long coastline, family-oriented resorts, and island experiences. In fourth place, Ho Chi Minh City appeals with its vibrant food scene, entertainment complexes, and day trips to the Mekong Delta. In the north, Hanoi continues to draw families with its cultural landmarks, museums, and festive atmosphere, rounding out the top five most family-friendly year-end destinations in Vietnam.
Meanwhile, although Vietnamese families traditionally travel less internationally at the end of the year – typically preferring to wait for the Lunar New Year - China is becoming a noticeable exception. Among the top 20 outbound destinations preferred by Vietnamese families during the December-January period, searches for Shanghai increased 58%, while Beijing increased 59%. This shift is supported by the launch of new direct routes between Hanoi and selected Chinese cities earlier this year, making end-of-year overseas trips more accessible than ever.
Vu Ngoc Lam, Country Director at Agoda, said: "It is wonderful to see Vietnam increasingly chosen as an end-of-year holiday destination for families from across Asia and beyond. Agoda's data shows that travelers are recognizing Vietnam's family-friendly appeal, which further strengthen its position on the global travel map. As more families plan their festive-season or year-end getaways, we are delighted to support them through Agoda's simple, intuitive platform and our wide range of stays, flights, and activities."
With over 6 million properties, 130,000 flight routes, and 300,000 activities, all bookable in one seamless itinerary, Agoda helps families plan memorable year-end holidays, whether they choose a peaceful beach break, a cultural city escape, or an international exploration to mark the close of the year.
