For those who wish to challenge their endurance and cardio, the Shek O Challenge is back! With a choice between a 2.2km swim, 8.5km run or a 9km paddle (surfski and paddle), participants will start at Big Wave Beach and race across to Shek O Back Beach.
Make it a group challenge by splitting the run and paddling races between friends or family to make up a relay team. Kids can also participate in a 600m swim race.&nbsp;And if racing is not for you, come along to cheer on friends and family and enjoy a beach barbecue with live music.

18 – 24 July:<a href="http://hkbookfair.hktdc.com/en" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Hong Kong Book Fair</a>
Long-awaited tomes and much-anticipated page turners will take centre stage at this year’s Hong Kong Book Fair. The impetus for this annual event, which is organised by the Hong Kong Trade and Development Council, was to foster a love of literature amongst the local population. And if the attendance figures are anything to go by (the event regularly draws hundreds of thousands of visitors), it’s become a resounding success. This year, in addition to the publishers’ booths, 360 different cultural events have been organised to further promote reading in the city.
Hong Kong Convention &amp; Exhibition Centre, 1 Expo Dr, Wan Chai
