HONG KONG (Bloomberg): After three years of Covid hibernation, Hong Kong's champagne-soaked art and luxury shopping scene is roaring back to life.

They’re also gearing up for the return of wealthy mainland Chinese patrons, who mostly stayed away during the global health crisis due to travel restrictions.
