<p><a href="http://hkdance.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>L&#8217;Amour Immortel<br />
</strong></a>6-8 Dec</p>
<p>When Pu Songling (1640-1715), the Qing dynasty writer, penned <em>Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio</em>, he could scarcely have imagined its popularity would endure through the centuries. Yet, that is precisely what has happened, with the Hong Kong Dance Company soon to recreate the magic of one of its 500-odd stories in a dance performance dubbed <em>L’Amour Immortel</em>. Set to be staged for the third time, the evocative tale follows the love story of Nie Xiaoqian, a beautiful ghost, and Ning Caichen, a scholar.</p>
<p><em>Grand Theatre, Hong Kong Cultural Centre, 10 Salisbury Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui. HK$80-480.</em></p>

<h4>9 December: <a href="http://racing.hkjc.com">Longines Hong Kong International Races</a></h4>
<p class="p3"><span class="s1">While all true equestrian enthusiasts will have had this date in their calendar for several months now, it may have eluded those only moderately horsey, but that’s no reason to miss out. It would, after all, be somewhat remiss overlook 7,200 metres of races, jockeys from more than 60 countries, plus 18 home-grown competitors and a grand total of HK$93 million available in prize money. This is, indeed, top-quality, high-stakes racing at its best. After all, few events can boast such an impressive pedigree as this true highlight of Hong Kong’s horse racing season.</span><i> </i></p>
