Shangri-La and Kerry Group jointly back art project to mark HK's return

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China, Shangri-La and Kerry Group jointly supported the "Art @ Harbour" project and created an artwork entitled Blossoming Hong Kong.

In the morning of June 22, the artwork was officially launched at the "Art @ Harbour" opening ceremony.

Hui Kuok, the director of Kerry Group and also the chairman of Shangri-La Group, attended the event.

"We are proud to call Hong Kong our home and feel privileged to see how much our home city has grown over the years. We have always been inspired by the spirit of Hong Kong, its people, and communities. We are excited to celebrate this event with the people who have made Hong Kong the remarkable city it is," she said.

The theme of the artwork, Blossoming Hong Kong, is brought up by Shangri-La. It reveals the wish to live in harmonious coexistence with nature and the development of the city.

The digital artwork will be projected onto the external wall of Kowloon Shangri-La and the Kerry Hotel in Hong Kong, lighting up iconic cityscapes along the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront and Victoria Harbour.

At the same time, Shangri-La also released the "Blossoming at Every Age" campaign, inviting guests and families of different ages to gather together to celebrate every important moment in life. This event has been rolled out in various Shangri-La hotels in Hong Kong, and guests will enjoy a wonderful dining experience and an in-city vacation. The hotel will also invite community groups to participate in the celebration, including cake-making classes for children and visits to seniors who are living alone, to share this memorable moment with them.

In 1981, Shangri-La's first hotel in Hong Kong opened in Kowloon, and three more hotels have been launched since then.
