Across the expanse of Asia, a diverse range of extreme environments coexist, from the rugged peaks of the Himalayas and the arid and harsh Gobi Desert to the immense depths of the Pacific Ocean. Within these extreme realms, the struggle for survival between predator and prey never ceases. The show helps audiences track the elusive snow leopard near icy summits, the agile long-eared jerboa in deserts, and the cute yet deadly sea bunny in deep seas, as each faces its own test of survival.

The 43-minute show will run until June 14, 2027. Screening times are 5pm on weekdays, and 11am, 3.30pm and 8pm on weekends and public holidays. Tickets priced at $30 (front stalls) and $40 (stalls) are now available at the Hong Kong Space Museum Box Office and URBTIX (www.urbtix.hk). For details of the show, please visit(hk.space.museum/en/web/spm/shows/dome-show/wild-asia.html).

The Hong Kong Space Museum, located at 10 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, is closed on Tuesdays (except public holidays).
