CHB is dedicated to sharing the latest and the best comics, animations and creative works of related media with the public, and bringing art into the community. This is the third largest comics market in the world!

Ten pre-war residential blocks have been revitalised into a complex showcasing Hong Kong’s local animation and comics. Offering different exhibitions, the Comix Salon on the second floor is a compact but comprehensive reading lounge where you can find some of the most representative works, including local comics translated into foreign languages and comic-related reference books.

If you’re a fan of this genre, this is the place to be.

Offering plenty of public space, the architecture fuses Chinese and Western elements, including the well-preserved pitched Chinese tiled roof, ornamental iron balustrades at the balconies and timber French doors. After refurbishment by the URA, prominent features of the project such as cantilevered balconies, tiled pitched roofs, timber French doors and internal timber staircases are retained and preserved.

The revitalised building cluster also includes a 300-square-metre public open space for the enjoyment of the community. There are also studios for comics and animation artists as well as a ‘comix salon’ that collects print and digital comic publications. Other features include exhibition space, multi-function rooms, retail space for comics and related merchandise as well as food and beverages facilities and outlets.

Hong Kong Arts Centre (HKAC) endeavours to use CHB as a platform for exchange and interaction in the animation and comics industry.

The location of Wan Chai is also significant to the history of local comic development. With prominent artists such as Tony Wong Yuk-long and Seung-gun Siu-bo having grown up in this district, it is seen as a cradle for the local comic scene. In addition to its numerous comics stores as well as Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong held annually at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, Wan Chai has been the gathering spot for comic fans for decades.
