Last day for Cirque
City living, Cirque du Soleil style, is at the heart of the troupe's limited run show Saltimbanco. Taken from the Italian phrase meaning literally "to jump on a bench", the re-imagined performance for arena-size audiences explores the busy streets and imposing skyscrapers typical of Asian cities. Its cast of baroque characters goes about their daily lives in an imaginary world that celebrates diversity.
1 pm and 5 pm, July 22. Arena, AsiaWorld Expo, Airport Expo Boulevard, Lantau Island, HK. 852-3128-8288

Nibble and snack your way through more than 20 food stalls while marveling at photographs themed for an international food market. There is also an Interactive Undersea Fantasy, a digital game showcasing short-focus projection technology.
