While it is certainly not an activity to be condoned, the film offers us the vicarious pleasure of visiting places we could have never imagined of going ourselves, including high up on Kuala Lumpur’s Merdeka 118 tower and Hong Kong’s Central Plaza and Tsing Ma bridge. Best watched on a television screen, the bigger the better. Read our interview with director Jeff Zimbalist

Skywalkers: A Love Story starts streaming on Netflix on Friday.

2. Blossoms – Solo Exhibition of Jin Yucheng

Chinese writer Jin Yucheng is best known for his novel Blossoms, which Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai has adapted into a popular television series.

Jin is also an accomplished artist. He started drawing when he was working in a factory at the age of 12, an interest that has persisted through his years working as an executive editor, as well as illustrator of his own novels.

The writer, who is in the city for the 2024 Hong Kong Book Fair, will also meet fans on Friday at the show opening from 5.00-7.30pm.

5. The Opposites

If you haven’t had enough to drink this past week already with the Asia’s 50 Best Bars-related festivities, then head to this cocktail bar newly opened by veteran bartenders Antonio Lai and Samuel Kwok.

The Opposites takes the idea of iconic cocktails (such as the pisco sour, Boulevardier and Charlie Chaplin) and presents two alternatives – Kwok’s take on the classic, and Lai’s more conceptual update. Bar snacks are Hong Kong-inspired, with the likes of spicy cod croquettes (an ode to curry fishballs) and “hot wave” seasoned fries.
