The 33rd Hong Kong Book Fair opened on Wednesday at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai with more than 600 seminars and cultural activities scheduled to take place.

This year's book fair will focus on children's and young adults' literature to promote the fun of reading in the city and to pay tribute to children’s and young-adult literature writers.

A brand-new culture and art exhibition zone called "the World of Art and Culture" has been introduced in line with the theme. Curated by renowned Hong Kong designers, the area depicts youth-centered literature and cultural arts from 24 countries and regions.
