A vibrant pet exhibition is underway at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai, drawing large crowds of residents who turned up with their beloved cats and dogs to join the event.

Titled the "Premium Pet Supplies Expo 2026", the three-day event runs from Friday to Sunday, showcasing a diverse range of global pet products and services.

In a move to tap into the rapidly growing exotic pet market, this year's expo breaks traditional boundaries by introducing a large-scale indoor "Reptile Carnival" and the "Insect Commando" exhibition, featuring more than 50 rare live insect species from around the world. 

China Daily's Andy Chong took the photos on Friday.
