Hong Kong is a city and a, disputed, special administrative region of China on the eastern Pearl River Delta in South China. With 7.5 million residents of various nationalities in a 1,104-square-kilometre (426 sq mi) territory, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated places in the world. Hong Kong is also a major global financial centre and one of the most developed cities in the world.
====Arena====
AsiaWorld–Arena (亞洲國際博覽館 Arena) is the largest indoor seated performance venue in Hong Kong. It has a total floor area of 10,880 square metres (117,100 square feet), a maximum capacity of 14,000 seats/16,000 standing+seats and high ceiling clearance of 19 metres. It is located next to the Hong Kong International Airport. It plays host to many concerts, sporting events, and other forms of entertainment.
====Hosts====
The hosts of the 24th edition were :
*Mxmtoon, American singer-songwriter and YouTuber of Chinese, German and Scottish origin. She is known for singing and playing the ukulele, and is from Oakland, California. Her 2018 self-released EP, Plum Blossom, recorded on her laptop in her parents' guest bedroom, has been streamed over 100 million times. She released her debut album, The Masquerade, in September 2019, followed by the twin EPs Dawn and Dusk in 2020. Her second studio album, Rising, was released on May 20, 2022.
*Zhu, born Steven Zhu is an American electronic music producer and singer who has been active since the beginning of 2014, signed to Mind of a Genius Records. Of Chinese heritage, Zhu remained anonymous until 2014, asking to be judged by his music alone. His debut album, Generationwhy, was released on July 29, 2016 and first premiered at Coachella during his closing set in the Sahara Tent. Zhu's Coachella performance was praised, with a writer for the New York Observer suggesting that he could be "the next Daft Punk".
*Sofya Wang is a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Los Angeles. A classically trained pianist and cellist, she taught herself songwriting and music production upon deferring from Berklee College of Music. Growing up as a first generation Chinese- American, finding roots in Shanghai and Beijing, Sofya unapologetically defied tradition to pursue and share a vulnerable and true version of herself through music & by being an active, vocal member of the LGBT community.
