SINGAPORE - Think Hong Kong is only for shopping, sightseeing, and food? Think again. The bustling city is also an arts haven, with flashy events such as Art Basel in March and the superbly-Instagrammable giant inflatable sculpture called Kaws:Holiday floating in Victoria Harbour in late March. Beautiful art can be found all over the city - on walls, buildings, paved areas, even in restaurants. Life rounds up six places and projects where travellers can indulge their artsy side.

Opened just three months ago, this new performing arts centre is the perfect spot to enjoy Cantonese opera and other forms of traditional Chinese opera, also known as xiqu.
