Introduction
From the sights and sounds of midcentury Queen’s Road Central, the original flavours of Hong Kong-style teahouses, the artistic touches of Italian mosaics and ceramics, the subtle scents of white jade tree and mosses… to that familiar aftertaste from Oxford and Cambridge that linger around your mind.
It will be an evening of unheard stories, rare archival photos, live jazz, and sips. As twilight falls, Hong Kong Class (港式優雅) will take you on an unforgettable journey through the rich cultural tapestry of Central District, where every detail tells a story.

Exclusive Lunchtime Guided Tour at Liang Yi Museum Presented by The Oxbridge Society in collaboration with Friends of Hong Kong Arts Centre
We’re excited to invite you to a special lunchtime guided tour of the Liang Yi Museum (兩依藏博物館), featuring the exhibition:
“10 Years of Liang Yi Museum: Authenticity; Rarity; Beauty.”
This is a rare opportunity to explore one of Hong Kong’s largest private museums dedicated to design, craftsmanship, and heritage. Located on Hollywood Road, the museum is typically accessible by appointment only — making this event particularly special.
Led by the museum’s team, the tour offers a unique chance to step into the mind of founder Peter Fung and experience his world-class collection up close. A highlight of the visit will be the Ming and Qing dynasty Chinese antique furniture, a personal favorite among many of our members.
