The original 13 and 14 June shows sold out rapidly, with fans flooding social media to report issues ranging from platform crashes to suspected scalper bots. While some voiced frustration over missed chances, the overwhelming response also reflects Yang’s immense popularity in his hometown.

All shows will be held at the 12,500-seat Hong Kong Coliseum in Hung Hom, with the following schedule:

• 13 June – 8:15 PM
• 14 June – 8:15 PM
• 15 June – 3:00 PM & 8:15 PM

Tickets for the newly announced 15 June shows go on general sale 20 May at 10 AM on Urbtix.

Although the tram won’t be running, the Peak Tower and Sky Terrace 428 will still welcome tourists. Alternative transport options include

• Citybus Route 15 from Central;
• The Green Minibus Route 1 from Hong Kong Station;

To handle the increased demand, bus and minibus services will be enhanced as needed. However, the Citybus 15C service between Central Ferry Piers and the Peak Tram Terminus will not operate during this period. You can still reach the Peak by taxi or even on foot during this period.

Maintenance like this is part of routine safety measures to keep services reliable. Operators say they’ll try to finish the work quickly and reduce inconvenience for passengers.

In December 2024, the Peak Tram also introduced a single fare structure for all days to avoid confusion caused by dynamic pricing. A return adult ticket now costs HK$108, while children and seniors pay HK$54. One-way tickets are priced at HK$76 and HK$38 respectively.

The Peak Tram is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Hong Kong. It began running in 1888, making it the city’s oldest funicular railway. Originally powered by coal-fired steam, the system has evolved over the decades. Its steep incline and dramatic views have made it a must-visit spot.

The decision was made after thousands of fans attempted to secure tickets during limited early booking windows, with many reporting they were unable to access the platform or complete their purchase on Klook or Cityline. In a video shared on social media, Yang thanked fans for their support and apologised to those who couldn’t get tickets.

Pet cabin available only on Japan routes for now

For the first time, passengers can fly with their furry companions right beside them, rather than placing them in the hold. This unique offering is currently available only on select routes to Japan, including Tokyo (NRT), Osaka (KIX), and Nagoya (NGO).

However, on the way back to Hong Kong, all pets will be kept in the plane’s climate-controlled cargo, and there are different rules to follow regarding the booking of the tickets, the bag requirements, and the weight limit, currently set at 8 kilos. Check this page to see all the rules.

What other upgraded services can passengers expect?

The pet travel service is just one part of Hong Kong Airlines’ wider upgrade plan. The new baggage policy offers Economy Class travellers 23kg checked baggage (plus 7kg carry-on) and Business Class passengers a generous 64kg (two pieces, 32kg each) plus 15kg of cabin baggage.

Inflight dining has been elevated with signature Cantonese dishes crafted in collaboration with Michelin-starred Ming Court. Meanwhile, the Club Autus lounge at Hong Kong International Airport, upgraded in partnership with Plaza Premium Group, now provides an enhanced premium experience.

Passengers also benefit from improved online check-in, with free adjacent seating for children under 12 and more complimentary seat selection options.

Looking ahead, Hong Kong Airlines is expanding fast. Daily non-stop flights to Sydney should be launched on June 20, marking its second Australian route this year.

Meanwhile, has climbed back to ninth place among the world’s busiest airports, showing strong recovery even if operations remain slightly below pre-pandemic levels. One last thing for travellers to keep in mind, since April 7, power banks are banned on flights, so make sure your devices are fully charged before take-off.

A post shared by Jimmy O Yang 歐陽萬成 (@jimmyoyang)

Born in Hong Kong and later moving to the United States as a teenager, Jimmy O Yang is known for his work as a stand-up comedian and actor. He has appeared in Silicon Valley, Crazy Rich Asians and Space Force, building an international fan base across comedy and film.

He is currently on tour across the United States and Canada, with performances scheduled through March, April and early May 2025. After the North American dates, he will continue touring in Europe in July, including appearances in Amsterdam.

In March, Jimmy shared videos from his visit to Hong Kong, expressing how much he still loves the city and how it continues to feel like home to him. He thanked those who welcomed him and said he looked forward to returning with a live show. He also posted about his visit to a noodle shop in Wan Chai, highlighting the variety of Hong Kong dishes he enjoyed

Jimmy’s announcement comes as more international stand-up comedians include Hong Kong in their tour schedules. Russell Peters performed in April and Russell Howard in February. Paul Taylor is scheduled to perform on 20 May, followed by French comedian Redouanne Harjane on 27 May.

With a growing line-up of stand-up shows, Hong Kong offers plenty of comedy events for those looking to explore the scene. For more information, visit our guide to the best comedy clubs in Hong Kong.

The tour started with fun dances and greetings at the refreshed Tsim Sha Tsui restaurant on Peking Road. The restaurant now has bright colours, playful decor and spaces designed for photos, including a colourful wall that says “CHICKEN JOY FOREVER”. Guests can also enjoy easier ordering with new self-service kiosks.

Fans who want to meet the mascot can visit Hung Hom on 10 May from 10am to noon, or North Point later that day from 3pm to 5pm. Jollibee will also take part in the Philippine Independence Day parade in Central on 1 June, adding even more fun to the city’s celebrations.

Each visit promises entertainment, smiles and a chance to snap a photo with the friendly mascot. Whether stopping by for a selfie or sitting down for a plate of Chickenjoy, customers are invited to enjoy the warmth and happiness that Jollibee brings to every meal.

New rules start May 1st, 2025

Under the new rate, employees are entitled to the minimum hourly wage whether they are employed full-time, part-time, casually, monthly, daily, hourly or by piece. The increase applies regardless of whether the employment is permanent or temporary.

However, the minimum wage does not apply to live-in domestic workers, student interns, work experience students, and persons not covered under Hong Kong’s employment laws.

Employees with disabilities are also covered. They may opt for a productivity assessment to determine whether their wages should be based on the statutory minimum wage or on a rate that matches their productivity.

Also, Employers are now required to record the total number of hours worked by employees earning less than HK$17,200 per month, an increase from the previous HK$16,300 threshold.

Hong Kong remains one of the World’s most expensive cities

Hong Kong continues to rank among the world’s most expensive cities, as confirmed by multiple studies in recent years. In 2023, it was named the second most expensive city globally, just behind New York, reflecting the high costs faced by residents and visitors. The city has also retained its reputation as the priciest destination for expats, holding the top spot in Mercer’s 2024 global rankings.

Recent, research further shows Hong Kong remains one of the most expensive places to live, adding to the financial pressures already well-known to those living and working in the city. In a global inflationary context, the Consumer Council also highlighted cases of shrinkflation last year, revealing that shrinkflation in Hong Kong is real, with 90% of supermarket products shrinking in volume or weight by up to 30%.

What are the busiest international airports in 2024?

The rankings are based on international airline capacity, meaning the number of seats airlines scheduled on international routes for the entire year. This capacity is calculated using scheduled one-way flights, offering a clearer view of how much international traffic an airport can handle.

To put this year’s numbers into perspective, the data compares capacity with 2019 and 2023, showing how airports are recovering or growing beyond pre-pandemic levels, and here is the top 10:

While the rankings highlight international airport capacities, they are based on the number of seats scheduled on international flights, not the number of passengers who actually flew. This means the figures represent the airport’s potential traffic rather than confirmed traveller that have actually landed in the SAR.

More international connections from Hong Kong airlines coming this year

Dubai International Airport (DXB) has maintained its spot as the world’s busiest international airport in 2024, with 60.2 million scheduled seats, continuing its leading position since 2019. London Heathrow (LHR) followed in second place, offering 48.4 million seats, a 4% rise compared to the previous year. Incheon International Airport (ICN) climbed four places to secure third, thanks to a 24% increase in capacity from 2023.

Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) made an impressive recovery, posting a 40% jump in capacity from 2023 and securing 9th place, though still operating 23% below its 2019 figures, according to OAG. This might suggest the airport has not fully recovered to pre-pandemic capacity, despite showing stronger growth than many other airports.

With more international routes reopening, and Cathay Pacific and HK Express expanding their international network to 100 routes by the end of 2025, Hong Kong International Airport’s role as a key hub is set to strengthen. HK Express is also launching new flights to China, Korea, and Japan in May and June, adding even more connections across Asia.

Earlier this year, HKIA also ranked as one of the world’s top 10 airports in 2025. In another news, travellers should also be aware of the upcoming increase in departure tax this October, the first rise in over 20 years.

An initiative to attract more international tourists

The scheme has been used in past years as a way to stimulate tourism, similar to campaigns rolled out in 2024 and earlier in 2023, when free rides and special promotions helped boost visitor numbers after travel restrictions eased.

Other initiatives like the “buy one get one free” promotion in 2023 for Hong Kong residents were also proposed to encourage visitors to cross the sea. With Hong Kong ranking as the 9th busiest international airport in 2024, welcoming 34.6 million passengers, Macao sees a real opportunity to attract more travellers stopping over in the region.

Last year, over 310,000 international visitors took advantage of the offer between February and December, according to the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO). Officials are hoping to build on that success in 2025 by once again partnering with Hong Kong ferry and bus operators to provide the complimentary rides.

How to get free transportation to Macao
