Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to be accompanied by his wife Peng Liyuan during his two-day visit to Hong Kong this week, the Post has learned.

But she will not join Xi on his tour of the Hong Kong Science Park in Tai Po after the pair’s expected arrival in the city on Thursday at the West Kowloon high-speed rail terminus.

A government source said Peng was likely to visit the Xiqu Centre for Chinese opera next to the railway station at the junction of Canton Road and Austin Road West.
