There's been a big event in Central lately that I'm sure all "dim sum fanatics" and party-loving friends have noticed!

To bid farewell to this historic old venue, Lin Heung Tea House is doing something new this time, holding an unprecedented and incredibly groundbreaking "Dim Sum Rave" party!

🍵 From Guangzhou to Central, witnessing a century of change in Hong Kong

Speaking of Lin Heung Tea House, it is definitely a collective memory for Hong Kong people. This century-old brand originated in Guangzhou and set up shop in Hong Kong as early as 1926. It moved to its current location on Wellington Street in Central in 1996, boasting a history of nearly a century.

After a temporary closure during the 2022 pandemic, Lin Heung Tea House made a strong comeback in 2024, even keeping up with trends by launching a hand-shaken tea drink shop and expanding to Tsim Sha Tsui! However, the two-story tea house on Wellington Street, steeped in history, always had the most character. That lively atmosphere of "bustling crowds" and dim sum trolleys was an oasis in the concrete jungle of Central.

🪩 One night only! "Dim Sum Rave": Yum Cha x Cantonese Pop x DJ Set

Following the hugely popular "Dim Sum Rave" organized by RaveDAO in April, Lin Heung Tea House officially stepped in this time to host an official farewell party on May 9th (the weekend evening of its last day of business)!

This isn't just a regular meal, but a rave party that will be high from 10 PM until 2 AM:

  • Powerful DJ Lineup: Many famous DJs will be there, including DJ Yin, DJ Tak, DJ Bobo, DJ Etta, Ari, and KT Tang Ka Lun himself!

  • Nostalgia x Beat: The traditional yum cha venue will transform into a dance floor, playing strong beats of mixed-style nostalgic music and classic Cantonese pop songs. You can listen to music, dance, and enjoy dim sum at the same time. This blend of East and West, impacting both sight and taste, is something you definitely shouldn't miss!

⚠️ Essential guide for attending the party (ticket details)

If you want to participate in this historic event, there are a few things you must keep in mind:
