Hong Kong Sevens
Running from March 28 to 30, Hong Kong’s favourite seven-a-side rugby tournament is moving after 41 years at Hong Kong Stadium, and will now be held at the brand-new Kai Tak Sports Park. With the likes of New Zealand, Australia, Great Britain, Japan, the United States and France taking part in the men’s and women’s tournaments, and shows from RubberBand and the Kaiser Chiefs, it’s set to be a real drop-kick of a weekend.

DarkSide
The sights and sounds of Kowloon are behind the new tipples at Rosewood Hong Kong’s cocktail bar. Taking inspiration from touchpoints such as Bruce Lee, the Kowloon Walled City and the Tsim Sha Tsui clock tower, the drinks menu is a love letter to the bustling peninsula from newly appointed director of bars, Bob Louison, and comes replete with a variety of flavours, all served in custom-made glassware.

Arbor
In celebration of Hong Kong’s art month, two-Michelin-starred Arbor has debuted a tasting menu inspired by the delicate watercolours of renowned French-Chinese multidisciplinary artist Xie Jinglan, also known as Lalan. The HK$1,688 service includes dishes such as 12-hour-steamed South African abalone with green tea ramen, and French pigeon breast roasted with garlic butter and rendered in vibrant colours.
