Join the Hollywood star and comedian as he explores the cultural heritage, natural beauty, and culinary delights of his hometown.

HONG KONG, June 24, 2025 — Jimmy O. Yang, the Hong Kong-born Hollywood star and comedian, recently returned to his hometown to perform stand-up for local audiences. He also took the opportunity to rediscover the city’s energy, culture, and contrasts. His day in Hong Kong included visits to ancient temples, stunning natural landscapes, Cantonese barbecue restaurants, and award-winning cocktail bars, showcasing the city’s best experiences and inspiring others to create their own adventures.

Cultural Immersion in the Heart of the City

At the historic Man Mo Temple in Sheung Wan, which has stood for nearly 180 years, Jimmy explored Hong Kong’s rich heritage. He participated in traditional rituals, such as touching the Writing Brush on the statue of Man Cheong, the God of Literature; handling the sword of Guan Di, a third-century general; and placing gold foil on the temple’s golden deer statue while making a wish. These moments provided a personal connection to his heritage and highlighted the spiritual foundations of the modern city.

From Skyline to Scenic Vistas

Jimmy traveled to Ngong Ping 360 and rode a Crystal+ cable car, specially decorated for the occasion, above lush greenery and dramatic mountains. He walked through Ngong Ping Village and climbed the 268 steps to the Big Buddha. From there, he admired the city’s green spaces, impressed by the proximity of nature to urban life.

Flavours That Tell a Story

Jimmy enjoyed a variety of classic local dishes at a popular neighborhood restaurant, including flavorful pork belly, tender pork jowl char siu, Maotai soy sauce chicken, and roast goose.

Later, he visited Asia’s best bar, where he enjoyed innovative signature cocktails and smoky olives, adding a unique touch to his experience. The lively atmosphere allowed him to fully appreciate the elegance and energy of Hong Kong’s nightlife.

“Hong Kong’s food scene is an adventure, from enjoying char siu at a local favorite to world-class cocktails in Asia’s best bar. Every meal, whether a simple street food delight or a globally recognized cocktail, tells the story of a city full of flavor, energy, and unforgettable contrasts, all in one day. As someone born here, I can attest to the vibrant tastes that shaped my childhood,” said Jimmy O. Yang. “Having spent my early years in Hong Kong, I’ve always felt the city’s energy, a place where tradition and innovation meet. In just one day, you can experience centuries of heritage and the wonders of nature while feeling the dynamic spirit that makes Hong Kong unique. This city will always be special to me.”
