In the midst of Hong Kong\u2019s sweltering heat, urbanites might find themselves yearning for some relaxation or intellectual stimulation to get through July.<\/p>\n
While the weather this week<\/span> is looking unpredictable, most of the events that we have spotlighted can be enjoyed regardless of the conditions.<\/div>\n
Hopefully, the rain will hold off if you would like an immersive day of forest bathing. Those looking to indulge their creative side can take part in a workshop designing blue-and-white porcelain that reflects local Hong Kong stories.<\/p>\n
In addition to these, there is an Ethiopian feast and a comics exhibition, meaning there is something for everyone to enjoy this weekend.<\/p>\n

Those in need of nature can travel to Tai Po and engage in a spot of forest bathing \u2013 shinrin-yoku<\/em> in Japanese. Rather than simply walking through the woods, participants are encouraged to engage all five senses in a type of nature-based therapy. Studies have shown that forest bathing<\/span> can result in a variety of physiological benefits such as a lower heart rate and lowered cortisol levels.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
