Reading the World: Food Culture. Future Living.
With just two days to go, the anticipation is reaching a fever pitch. The aisles are being mapped, the banners are being hung, and the books—oh, the books—are waiting to meet their readers. The 35th Hong Kong Book Fair is almost here, and the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre is about to transform into a vibrant hub of stories, culture, creativity, and discovery.
This year, the theme of the 35th Hong Kong Book Fair is “Reading the World: Food Culture. Future Living.” It will highlight a curated selection of literary works and books related to food culture. Readers are invited to explore culinary traditions and histories from diverse perspectives, understand the connection between diet and healthy living, and discover how technology is shaping future eating habits and lifestyles.
From July 16 to 22, the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre will welcome hundreds of thousands of readers, publishers, authors, and literary professionals from around the world. The 35th Hong Kong Book Fair is almost upon us, and it’s not just another literary event—it’s an annual tradition of connection, imagination, and shared love for the written word.
The best part? It’s not just about what you’ll buy—it’s about what you’ll discover. Every year, readers stumble upon unexpected titles that speak to them in ways they didn’t expect. Every day brings new author encounters, fresh ideas, and moments you’ll remember long after the fair is over.
Hacks For Readers: Come Curious, Leave Inspired
1. Make a Book Wish List (and Budget!)
It’s easy to get overwhelmed in a sea of titles. Come with a list, but also leave room for spontaneous discoveries.
2. Bring a Big (and Sturdy) Bag
Trust us, you’ll fill it faster than you think—with books, freebies, merch, and more!
3. Wear Comfy Shoes and Dress for the Aisles
You’ll be doing a lot of walking, browsing, standing, and sitting at panels. Comfort is key.
4. Bring Cash and Card
Some booths offer exclusive fair discounts for cash purchases. Better to be ready for anything.
