Notable works such as “Yandang Mountain”, “Out of Gorges”, and the Sai Kung scenery of the “View from the Clear Water Bay Studio” series all demonstrate Wong's keen observation and unique depiction of natural landscapes.  His works also feature the autumnal colors of Japan, highlighting his appreciation and love for the beauty of nature.

"In the Realm of Feelings about Life" presents Wong's profound concern for society and humanity. Works such as "Watching You", "Painting in Calligraphy: Cucumber and Red Pepper", "Spicy Enough", "The Supreme Lord", "Butterflies and Flowers", "Love Ode at Sunset" reflect Wong’s social insight and deep understanding of life, conveyed through humor, satire and allegories. "In the Realm of Black and White, Void and Solidity" showcases masterpieces such as "Taroko", "Lion Rock in Spring", "Hope" and "View from the Clear Water Bay Studio”.  These works embody the essence and artistic conception of ink and paint in black and white, void and solid, displaying Wong's superb skills in ink painting and his unique artistic style.
