Climate change has brought serious consequences to the world, resulting in an urgency to achieve net zero carbon emissions standards and educate the next generation about environmental protection. Fully supported by the Crystal Climate Charity Foundation (the 'Climate Foundation') and Crystal International Group Limited ('Crystal Group'), the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre ('HKRep') has devised and produced 'Crystal Net Zero 2050' touring kindergartens across Hong Kong, performing an interactive play 'Carbon Reduction Alliance Saves Our Earth' following heroes of the Carbon Reduction Alliance as they combat the Carbon Emission Monster. Last year, the HKRep performed this dynamic interactive drama in 20 schools, teaching students about environmental protection and encouraging them to bring such knowledge back to their families so everyone can contribute to building a better future.
Mr. Mike Chow, Head of Education Hub and the playwright, director and producer of 'Carbon Reduction Alliance Saves Our Earth', said 'Through a fun theatrical approach, kindergarteners can easily grasp the importance of reducing their carbon footprint and adopting sustainable habits from an early age.'
The Climate Foundation has long been dedicated to relieving climate poverty and promoting climate education. It firmly believes that education is the cornerstone to sustainable carbon reduction. Mr. Edmund Ng, the Foundation Secretary of the Climate Foundation and Company Secretary of Crystal Group, said 'Last year, we witnessed students immersing themselves in the story, which reaffirms for us that educational theatre can plant the seeds of environmental consciousness in children's hearts, fostering sustainability in living with carbon stewardship. This year we continue to support the HKRep in this effort, hoping that even more children and their families can benefit from these educational performances, working towards in building a better future in reaching 'Crystal Net Zero 2050'.'
Riding on its success last year, the HKRep has toured more than 30 schools in the past school term. HKRep plans to visit more kindergartens in the upcoming school year, spreading the word to more children about carbon stewardship. For more information on this free programme, please visit

5 of the best things to do in Hong Kong this weekend July 4-6, including a chicken feast
If the summer heat is getting too much for you, then there is plenty going on indoors in Hong Kong this weekend. Those with an interest in 20th-century Cantonese art should head to the M+ museum to check out an exhibition, while film fans can catch Jurassic World Rebirth – the latest instalment in the dinosaur franchise – in cinemas. For something a little slower-paced, head to a therapeutic plant-based cooking class and lunch on Lamma Island. For something on Hong Kong Island, visit Testina, where a chicken feast will be prepared by former Post food editor Susan Jung. 1. Canton Modern: Art and Visual Culture, 1900s-1970s A new exhibition at the M+ museum in West Kowloon examines how 20th-century Cantonese art and visual culture had global resonance.

Hong Kong could have a Class Three Champion Griffin for the first time in 14 years
Not since the 75-rated Bear Hero took the gong at the end of the 2010-11 season has a horse on a mark below 80 been crowned Hong Kong racing looks set to have it's lowest-rated Champion Griffin in 14 years after the Jockey Club confirmed the initial nominations on Wednesday. Not since the 75-rated Bear Hero took the gong at the end of the 2010-11 season has a horse still in Class Three won Champion Griffin, but that is likely to change this season. Sky Jewellery and Crossborderpegasus are the nominated gallopers and, with the John Size-trained pair unlikely to race again this season, it looks as though either the former off a mark of 79 or the latter with a 77 rating will join the likes of Ka Ying Rising, Howdeepisyourlove, Lucky Sweynesse, Champion's Way and Mr Stunning on the honour roll. There is scope for additional nominees to be added if they stake their claim across the final four meetings of the season, but it's highly unlikely anything can win their way to a rating of 80 or higher. Crossborderpegasus is a handful! John Size's emerging talent wins for a third time from four starts thanks to some skillful handling from @zpurton at Sha Tin... 👏#LoveRacing | #HKracing — HKJC Racing (@HKJC_Racing) May 4, 2025 The Champion Griffin award is open to 'new imports carrying the 'K' brand, which arrived in Hong Kong unraced, and which were aged either two or three on the date of the first Hong Kong race meeting of the 2024-25 season'. To boast the 'K' brand, horses had to arrive in Hong Kong on June 1 last year or later. Another Size-trained galloper, Juneau Pride, actually boasts a higher rating than his stablemates on a mark of 80, but he isn't eligible because he arrived in March last year, even though he didn't race last season and began the campaign as a three-year-old. The highlight of the Jockey Club's Champion Awards night on July 11 will be the culmination of the Horse of the Year battle between Voyage Bubble, Ka Ying Rising and Romantic Warrior, while a swag of other honours will be dished out. Ka Ying Rising is the only galloper nominated for Champion Sprinter, Voyage Bubble and Red Lion will duke it out for Champion Miler, Romantic Warrior and Voyage Bubble are in the running for Champion Middle-Distance Horse, Voyage Bubble has the Champion Stayer category all to himself and Ka Ying Rising, Cap Ferrat, My Wish and Rubylot have been nominated for Champion Four-Year-Old. Manfred is the Man Thanks to his impressive treble at Sha Tin on Tuesday, Manfred Man Ka-leung now boasts the highest strike rate of any trainer this season. By bagging his first three-timer since 2016 and moving to 43 wins from 383 runners this campaign, Man lifted his strike rate to 11.23 per cent and past 12-time champion trainer Size, who is striking at 11.04 per cent. Reunification Raceday wins from We Are Hero, Pearl Of Pang's and Yuen Long Elite continued a strong run of form for Man, who has banged home 16 winners in the past two months. Man, who sits just one win short of his personal-best tally for a season, has eight runners at Sha Tin this Saturday, including the white-hot Patch Of Stars, who shoots for a fourth consecutive victory. While ending the season with the highest strike rate would be a feather in Man's cap, Size is on track for much higher honours and looks well placed to further ram home his advantage in the race for the trainers' title. Eight victories clear of David Hayes with only four meetings remaining, Size saddles up last-start winners Masterofmyuniverse and Szeryng as he looks to seal a record-extending 13th title. While the race for the trainers' title won't mathematically be over for a little while, a couple of unofficial titles will be settled this weekend as the city enjoys its last two dirt races of the term. Unsurprisingly, Zac Purton will prevail on the jockey front, with the suspension of Britney Wong Po-ni preventing the possibility of a late duel. While both riders have eight all-weather wins for the season, Purton has far more seconds and he has rides in both of Saturday's dirt contests. No one else is in contention. Things are much tighter from a trainers' perspective, with Hayes and Frankie Lor Fu-chuen tied on nine wins and Man and Caspar Fownes in striking range on seven winners.

Hong Kong ‘tourism hotspots' show promise, now to ensure visitors come and stay
In this two-part series we take a look at Hong Kong's efforts to boost its tourism industry. Part one examines the government's moves to reinvent tourism with nine hotspot attractions and whether they will make a difference. Tourist Jessie Wu was enthralled and swept up in nostalgia as she made her way through an exhibition that transported her to Hong Kong's past. Featuring a canopy of criss-crossing electricity cables, the visitor from mainland China paused at a shop that was both a hair salon and a restaurant, and an alleyway kitchen so realistic she could almost smell the fish balls. The 'Kowloon Walled City: A Cinematic Journey' exhibition has been attracting locals and tourists to its replica sets from the 2024 blockbuster martial arts film Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In. The exhibition opened in May for a three-year run at Kowloon Walled City Park, the location of the densely populated enclave of haphazardly built shops and stacked homes notorious for its lawlessness before it was demolished in 1994. 'I wanted to come here after seeing the film,' said Wu, a biomedical professional in her forties and a regular visitor from Beijing. 'Those of us born in the 1980s on the mainland had a Hong Kong dream, but as I walked through the exhibition, I kept wondering, if I had lived here at that time, would I have survived?'
