A walk of the wild side

A walk of the wild side

K-pop sensation Jeong Sewoon recently embarked on a mission to unearth Hong Kong’s hidden gems with a Link Community Tour.

The star immersed himself in the neighbourhoods of Stanley, Lok Fu, Kowloon City and Wong Tai Sin, meeting citizens from walks of life and making new discoveries.
In Kowloon district, Jeong visited the famous Wong Tai Sin Temple and paid tribute to the Taoist deity revered for granting wishes to pious believers. This cultural feast of ancestral architecture and beguiling Chinese zodiac sculptures was followed by a colourful leisure experience at the nearby Temple Mall that draws on the unique vibe of the temple.
Jeong sampled the taste and the making of the much-loved Chinese dumpling xiaolongbao. Another indelible experience had Jeong dressed in a traditional navy cheongsam of his own choice. The walking tour continued in Lok Fu Place, where Jeong enjoyed an authentic Chinese tea ceremony and one of Hong Kong’s most famous sweet treats – egg tart. 
On another walking tour in the southern district of Stanley, Jeong met the sunny side of Hong Kong, where he soaked in the sights and colours of Stanley Main Street to Stanley Plaza. 
The laidback shopping destination greeted Jeong with the stunning views of Stanley Bay on the observation deck, where he wrote his wish on a heart-shaped card and hung it up on the railing like the locals and visitors do. 
The tour culminated in the burnt orange sunset at the Murray House, where he joined local buskers to stage a surprise gig.
Conceived as a regular programme that connects international visitors and local residents to explore the city, the Link Community Tour won Bronze prize in Best Event Targeted Community category of The Marketing Events Awards 2018 and was a finalist in the Best PR Campaign – Consumer category at the Marketing PR Awards 2018.
