The 2022 Hong Kong Book Fair was held at the Wanchai Convention and Exhibition Centre for seven consecutive days from July 20, but the flow of people was much less than in previous years. The attendance number dropped significantly on the first day of the fair.
When reporters arrived at about 9 o’clock, they did not see the long queue outside the exhibition venue that was common on previous occasions. Instead, everybody could avoid lining up under red hot sunshine and enjoy cool air-conditioning at the fair.
