The Hang Seng Index closed up 0.5 per cent at 21,583.5 on the day, its first gain after four days of losses. The China Enterprises Index of the top Chinese listings in Hong Kong edged up 0.1 per cent.
Internet giant Tencent rose 5.8 per cent in its biggest daily gain since January 29.
Shares in Lippo Ltd jumped by as much as 41 per cent to a six-year high after the property firm resumed trading following preliminary approval from South Korea to build and operate a casino resort as part of a consortium.
