Stop 7: E Tat Factory Building
Aside from art galleries, numerous murals can be found around the neighbourhood of Wong Chuk Hang thanks to the 2017 edition of the HKWalls festival. Turning building facades into blank canvases for street artists, the festival welcomed creative talents such as Spanish artist Spok, who created an eye-catching large-scale mural on the side of E Tat Factory Building. The mural featuring a giant dragon and snake hybrid entangling a hand, injects a bold and dramatic energy into the neighbourhood.
