The annual “Hong Kong Book Fair” is one of the largest of its kind in Asia, attracting the attendance of several hundred thousand book lovers. The fair gives readers an opportunity to have a preview of new books and to communicate with book writers. It also aims at promoting local reading culture through the organization of various activities.
During the seven-day event, it’s also hoped that visitors would respond and contribute to the Fair’s appeal for environmental protection to make the Hong Kong Book Fair a green focus.
Download app to reduce papers

Carry own shopping bag
Plastic shopping bag charging has been fully conducted in Hong Kong. Exhibitors shouldn’t distribute plastic bags to customers for free. They’ll have to charge customers no less than 50 cents for each plastic bag. Therefore, visitors are encouraged to buy their own bags!
Waste recycle
