The 35th HKTDC Hong Kong Book Fair successfully delivered an extraordinary celebration of literature, culture, and entertainment. From July 17 to 22, book lovers, publishers, authors, and curious visitors gathered at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) for the annual literary festival, held alongside the 8th HKTDC Sports and Leisure Expo and the 5th HKTDC World of Snacks. Organized by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the fair was a dynamic convergence of storytelling, industry insights, and culinary delights.

The concept of stopping the overthinking process and focusing on the present moment through meditation really resonates with me. It’s a great reminder of how simple changes in lifestyle can lead to big improvements.
