Hong Kong Book Fair 2016 – Raising cultural awareness through books

Celebrating its 27th edition, the Hong Kong Book Fair will run from 20-26 July at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the fair is a cultural highlight and features over 600 exhibitors from around the world. The city is famed for its entertaining spots like Ocean Park Hong Kong, and the Book Fair adds another dimensions to its entertainment value. The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre is conveniently located near many of the city’s up-market hotels like the Cosmopolitan Hotel Hong Kong, which has contributed to the large crowds of locals and foreigners that gather for the annual fair. This year, the Book Fair adopts the theme of “Chinese Martial Arts Literature’ and over 380 cultural activities have been planned during the 3 day event with the aim of cultivating people’s interest in cultural awareness and books.
