PARIS, Oct 21 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) successfully launches the first activation in its pioneering three-year global partnership with Art Basel, welcoming visitors from all over the world to a Hong Kong-style café, a “Cha Chaan Teng”, within the Grand Palais. The Cha Chaan Teng will be open to all fair visitors between 18 and 20 October, 2024.
Visitors are welcomed to enjoy an array of Hong Kong delicacies including pineapple buns, egg tarts, mango pudding, and ‘Yuen Yang’ milk tea, as well as a special chandelier-like illuminated installation by Hong Kong-based artist Trevor Yeung. This new artwork forms part of Yeung’s Chaotic Suns series, last seen at the 24th Biennale of Sydney (2024), perfectly illuminating the traditional décor of the cha chaan teng, with cosy booth seating and eclectic floor tiles.
