Picasso: Beauty and Drama — An exhibition that enriches Macau’s growing cultural scene

Step into the world of a true master at Picasso: Beauty and Drama! This landmark exhibition is more than a showcase — it’s an immersive journey through the life, love and limitless creativity of Pablo Picasso.

Featuring over 140 original works spanning paintings, ceramics, manuscripts and illustrations, the collection is spread across seven thoughtfully curated galleries. Each space unveils a different chapter of Picasso’s extraordinary life: from the women whose presence shaped both his art and emotional landscape, to the raw symbolism of bullfighting in Spanish culture and his deeply personal response to his homeland.

Presented for the first time in Macau, Picasso: Beauty and Drama is a cultural milestone that brings the legendary artist’s work closer to audiences in Asia. Beyond simply viewing, visitors are invited to connect with Picasso’s genius in a way that’s intimate and thought-provoking — whether you’re a seasoned art lover or discovering his legacy for the first time.

Running until 26 October 2025, the exhibition cements Macau’s place as not just a leisure destination but a cultural hub, where world-class art meets the city’s dynamic spirit. Don’t miss your chance to experience it for yourself!

The post Vietnam — The Perfect Wedding Destination appeared first on Sassy Hong Kong.

It didn’t start as all fun and games though. In the late Qing dynasty, Cheung Chau was hit by a nasty plague. The locals invited Taoist priests to set up a sacrificial altar near Pak Tai Temple to pray for blessings and peace. Villagers paraded deity statues through the streets and handed out buns as offerings called Ping On Buns.

When the plague eventually lifted,  the islanders made the celebration an annual event as a symbol of gratitude. This once humble tradition has become not only a city-wide attraction, but internationally renowned, drawing crowds thanks to its unique charm. What began as a result of the plague has transformed into a cultural phenomenon. Here’s everything you need to know about them buns if you’re planning to join this year’s festivities!
