As the year draws to a close, the LG1 atrium at HKRI Taikoo Hui is illuminated by two striking light installations inspired by Shanghai's Oriental Pearl Tower and Paris's Eiffel Tower. The works form part of Dialogue, an art project created in collaboration with Meta Media Group and artist Cai Yaling.

Cai crafted the floral elements of Dialogue using glass and mixed materials. The soft, delicate blooms contrast sharply with the rigid metal tower structures, creating a visually engaging display that brings two iconic cityscapes into a shared space.

The installations coincide with the mall's winter holiday season, which runs through Dec 31 and features a lineup of events, new store openings, and exclusive member perks. Nearby streets, including Shimen Road Number One and Weihai Road, have also been dressed in festive lighting. Recent upgrades to the area include wider sidewalks, improved public spaces, sustainable seating, and pet-friendly features, further elevating the experience for both visitors and residents.

Several new brand stores have added fresh momentum to the retail mix, including Ann Andelman, Beyond The Vines, Ferragamo, Garcon by Garcon, and Sporty & Rich.

Adding to the appeal, Ann Andelman Cafe has opened its first store worldwide at the complex, offering slow-roasted Italian coffee in a warm, inviting setting.
