Visitors in London are flocking to the vibrant Hong Kong Festival, running from July to September. The festival celebrates Hong Kong's role as Asia's world city, and is attracting large crowds to its art, architecture and photography exhibitions, dragon boat race at the Docklands and a sell-out film festival.

The visitors can “virtually” experience Hong Kong’s business, cultural and visual feasts at various locations at the festival. “We thought it would be a good idea to show people how Hong Kong has continued to grow over the past five years,” said Andrew Leung, director general of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in London.

The Hong Kong in London festival is scheduled to continue through to the third week in September.
