[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for Oi! building (Updated Mar)

Oi! is an art space meant for community involvement, especially in being interactive. Standing on Oil Street in Fortress Hill, the building celebrates art, creativity and ideas of sustainable living by offering the space for dialogue, exhibition and respite. At its inception in 1908, the former site of Oi! was the Royal Yacht Club Clubhouse. As such, the building’s location on Oil Street was formerly a waterfront area in North Point. In those times, the venue opened its doors only to the Europeans or otherwise very prominent persons. Throughout its century-long history, Oi! has served as government staff quarters and offices. Eventually, the venue was handed over to the Art Promotion Office for restoration and re-positioning into the current space for arts and community. It being a government-led initiative for restoration, Oi! is quite different from other heritage sites in Hong Kong. In partnership projects, the Hong Kong Government would approve funding for successful applicants (usually NGOs) to conduct the restoration work, after which the NGO would take over the operation and maintenance of the venue for its own use. Oi! has been given the status of a Grade 2 Historic Building. The former Royal Yacht Club Clubhouse was built in the style of Arts and Crafts architecture. First features to note are the fusion of Chinese and western style architecture. The tiled roof and the red bricks are more representative of the Chinese style, but the arched windows, white paint and doorways are western. In the restoration effort, the building was repositioned to imitate the idea of a home. Therefore all the different buildings were renamed in home rooms, such as the kitchen, living room, study, balcony and garden etc. Finally, the different sections of the building shows different heights in its rooftops. One section has a double tiled rooftop as well. This aspect of the architecture provided a textured aesthetics against what used to be hills at the back of the Royal Yacht Club Clubhouse. The Lawn at Oi! features a green urban space. I inquired at the small outhouse, as its appearance seems to suggest that food is sold there. However, Oi! Kitchen does not actually offer food for sale. It is the venue for community cooking classes. On days where classes are not held, anyone is free to bring a takeout lunch to sit in the comfort of a hip kitchen space and eat. #oi! #oilstreet #hongkongheritage #hongkonghistory #royalyachtclub #quarrybay #hongkongisland #hongkong #urbanspace #travel#thingstodo#familytravel#museums

In a corner of the bustling market in North Point, there is a low-key urban art space that is perfect for viewing exhibitions and historical architecture, as well as basking in the sun and relaxing ☀️☀️☀️. When it comes to art spaces in Hong Kong, most people may first think of Tai Kwun and PMQ in Central, or the M+ Museum and Palace Museum in the West Kowloon Cultural District. However, "Oi!" in North Point has always existed quietly, and I only found out about this place last year 🤣🤣. The predecessor of "Oi!" was the clubhouse of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, established in 1908. In 2013, the historic building was revitalized and restored for use as a public art space, and was renamed "Oi!". In 2019, "Oi!" underwent an expansion plan, adding over 3,000 square meters of outdoor space and modern buildings for exhibitions and events. The overall area of "Oi!" is not large, and it takes about 1-2 hours to visit, but there are many corners worth stopping and appreciating 👍🏼👍🏼. The most representative red brick building is the Oi! Warehouse, which has been transformed by art and creativity after years of baptism and revitalization, and is a unique and beautiful building. The grassy area in front of the building is my favorite space, with a few chairs placed on the lawn. In this artistic oasis, you can relax, bask in the sun, and chat, which is a very thoughtful design ⛱️⛱️⛱️. The connection between glass and red brick contrasts the past and the future. The Oi! Glass House is a new building that was born after the expansion plan, and it is also the center for art exhibitions and events, complementing the Oi! Warehouse across the street. There are many interesting corners, such as the Oi! Bookstore, Oi! Kitchen, and Oi! Garden, as well as digital and art installations scattered throughout, waiting for more people to discover 😆😆😆. #Hong Kong Surrounding Tour #Artistic Place #Family-friendly Place #Local Tour #Hong Kong Attractions #Resident Writer #Hong Kong Shopping #Hong Kong Art #Hong Kong Exhibition #Oi!

Oi!, which was once the Hong Kong Royal Yacht Club in the last century, was transformed into a public art space for promoting visual arts after renovation in 2012. Located on the old site of the Victoria Harbour coastline, it was once a place where yachts docked! Since Oi!’s headquarters is at No. 12 Oil Street, it is named after its homophony of "Oil Street Reality". The entire park is divided into: Oil Street Garden, Oil Street Balcony, Oil Street Pavilion, Oil Street Warehouse, Oil Street Study, Oil Street Kitchen, Oil Street Lawn, and Oil Street Glass House. My favorite is the chair area on the lawn of the first image, where you can spend a wonderful afternoon leisurely drinking coffee, reading a book, and enjoying the breeze. #GlobalTravel #HongKongGoodPlaces #HongKongCheck-In #NorthPointGoodPlaces #OilStreetRealization #HongKong

Many traditional practical crafts that have been listed as intangible cultural heritage are difficult to sustain in the current era, so few people enter the industry, and there is a lack of successors. However, a girl who is determined to create art - Lin Jiayu (Inkgo), used the opportunity to learn the last generation of steamer making skills to create bamboo artworks, and held her first solo exhibition at Oi! to show everyone the infinite possibilities of bamboo craftsmanship. This time, the first solo bamboo art exhibition "Oi! In Situ: Five Zang" was held at the art venue - Oi!, inspired by the architectural features of the warehouse that are both "separated" and "connected", and created bamboo artworks corresponding to the "five zang". The longest bamboo weaving work "Transformation" created by Inkgo is 35 meters long, showing the steps from the basic "hexagonal weaving" to the exquisite "chrysanthemum weaving" by gradually adding straight lines and cross weaving. In this exhibition, Inkgo shared her "five zang" inspiration inspired by the venue, and added multiple interactive elements to the exhibits, such as movable umbrella mechanisms, and a 35-meter-long bamboo weaving work that allows everyone to throw paper airplanes, leading the audience to explore the connections between architectural space, human structure, and life trajectory.

At Oil Street Art Space, there is an exhibition called 'People Mountain People Sea' showcasing the works of British artist Gary Card. Gary Card has transformed the century-old warehouse at Oil Street into an artistic space. The exhibition area is divided into three sections: rainbow, red, and jade, each displaying different forms and meanings of artworks. However, I personally feel that they all belong to a more colorful category, reflecting Gary's inner world. The most impressive part of the entire exhibition is a room that feels like entering a psychedelic time-space, suddenly allowing oneself to escape reality and immerse in a space filled with local elements, yet not entirely lucid. The exhibition is free to enter and is worth a visit.

Lu Yang's solo exhibition "Live and Die Alone Hong Kong Experience Center" was recently exhibited at Oil Street in North Point. Lu Yang is a Chinese new media artist who excels in using digital technology to combine elements such as video, animation, and video games to create works that reflect his own existence through a unique aesthetic style. At this exhibition at the Oil Street Glass House, Lu Yang showcased a series of hyper-realistic digital avatar works he began creating in 2020, titled "DOKU", which means "born alone and die alone." In these works, he transcends physical limitations and explores philosophical and religious considerations such as time, space, subject, and object, leading the audience into an otherworldly realm. Watching these works live, I feel shocked and full of meaning. This glass house is also a great place to take photos. #Greater Bay Area Attractions #Weekend Tours #Local Tours #Good Places for Families #Hong Kong #Check-in

In conjunction with the opening of the new space of Oil Street, Oil Street has planned the "Ancient Curators Series", inviting young scholars of Chinese art history to serve as guest curators to present traditional Chinese culture in the face of contemporary art. The first exhibition "Cun - Cultural Symbols of Chinese Landscape Painting" (December 9) will be on display at the Glass House on Oil Street. ​ The chamfering method is an important form of expression in landscape painting. It originated from the painter's observation of nature, and transformed what he saw in front of his eyes into his brushwork techniques to present the structure, texture, texture and yin and yang of the rocks. Due to the different geology and rocks in different places, as well as the different views in different seasons, weather, and time, painters had different feelings and ideas, and gradually developed various chamfering methods. ​ Dr. Chen Guannan, Director of Chinese Calligraphy and Painting at the Art Museum of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, is the guest curator of "Cun - Cultural Symbols of Chinese Landscape Painting". He invited six local artists, including Huang Xiaokui, Au Dawei, Feng Yongji, Xiong Hai, Xiong Fai and Qiu Rongfeng reinterpret the collection of the Art Museum of CUHK, each selecting one or more pieces from the Art Museum collection to recreate and interpret the landscape and chamfering techniques in their minds. ​ This exhibition echoes the "Landscape Masterpieces - Selection of Landscape Paintings from the Collection of the Art Museum of the Chinese University of Hong Kong" exhibition simultaneously on display at the Art Museum to showcase the infinite possibilities of contemporary landscape painting creation. The audience can appreciate the enduring charm of Chinese landscape paintings and gain a moment of tranquility brought by landscapes and Chinese art and culture. ​ The exhibition is jointly organized by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and jointly organized by Oil Street Realization and the Art Museum of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. The works will be on display at the Oil Street Glass House from now until February 5 next year. ​ In order to comply with the requirements of the Prevention and Control of Disease (Requirements and Directions) (Business and Premises) Regulation (Cap. 599F) and relevant administrative instructions, members of the public must use mobile phones / other mobile devices before entering museums under the LCSD Scan the QR code of the "Travel Safely" location.

📍MTR Fortress Hill Station Exit A - Oil Street Today we will introduce the "Parade to Reality" Exhibition Hall. The building was formerly the clubhouse of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club and moved from its old site in North Point in 1939. Later, the building was taken back by the Hong Kong Government and used as a dormitory and warehouse. In 2010, the government decided to revitalise the building into an exhibition and activity centre to promote visual arts. The center became the "Oil Street Realization" art space in May 2013, focusing on inviting local and international artists to exhibit their works. As an art space, it is open to everyone for free. The building is a red brick building in the Arts and Crafts architectural style and has been rated as a Grade II historical building😊 #LocalTourism#2022Exhibition
