During the campaign, Hang Lung shopping malls are inviting customers to immerse themselves in an artistic fashion wonderland with beautifully curated installations and KOLs hosting talks on the latest trends. Workshops in flower arrangement, hand-painting, yoga, and even wine yoga also await shoppers in search of unparalleled lifestyle experiences.
