Summer has arrived in Hong Kong and, according to the Chinese almanac, this weekend is great for โ€“ you have guessed it โ€“ going out and meeting friends. Try to avoid renovating the kitchen or having your hair and nails done, though.

Here are our top five picks of things to do in Hong Kong this weekend.

1. Ginsanity at PMQ

The annual gin extravaganza is back for another year at Centralโ€™s PMQ, and the weather is looking favourable for some alfresco drinking.

The festival brings together more than 100 distilleries from Hong Kong and around the world, and entry is free โ€“ pay for drinks as you go, with cocktails priced from HK$75 (US$9.60). Grab a Ginsanity reusable cup for HK$30 or bring your own.

If thereโ€™s a gin you take a shine to, bottles can be bought on site and delivered to your address at no extra cost โ€“ handy if you find yourself enjoying the tipples a bit too much.

Ginsanity is open from 4pm to 10pm on May 16 and from 1pm to 10pm on May 17.

PMQ, 35 Aberdeen Street, Central
