Hong Kong Tourist Guides — Culture

It's not strange that people behave superstitiously sometimes when it comes to their personal convictions. Hong Kong people are not exceptions. When it comes to luck, even professionals are found to be consulting soothsayers. The tradition has traveled down long since the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). Still now people ensure that their homes and its furniture arrangements cater to the Feng Shui conventions. Lucky numbers (6:longevity, 8:prosperity, 3:giving birth) are also paid more than enough consideration. Hong Kong is also a place of profound sense of exhibitionism. You get to see Rolls Royce cars more than any place on earth. The people are aware of .saving. their .face. or self-esteem and struggle to survive amidst the splurge of tinkling currencies! With the advent of a few merchants from the Mainland China to Hong Kong the economy shot high! And since then, the citizens have been trying to keep up with the towering expectations.

'Meet the People' is a unique agenda equipped for the visitors who can meet the artisans and know about the tradition directly from them. You can have lessons on Taichi, Feng Shui and even get to see antique collections or even learn about the Chinese medicines.

The Anthropological Study has revealed that Hong Kong is a compact 'showcase' of Chinese culture. Though the folk traditions and rural culture has remained a favorite theme of study, presently the scholars are also extending their focus to the urban postcolonial culture. Most of the Chinese residing here is either Buddhists or Taoists. You can even get to know your fortune on paying a little in the temples (more than six hundreds of them).

The Opera is an exclusive occasion to observe Chinese style of acting and dancing. With closely highlighted faces and dazzling costumes the actors are sure to win your hearts. It's a wholesome entertainment of three to four hours.

A museum furnishes you with the real tradition of a civilization. So, don.t forget to visit it or you will definitely miss out a 2000-year-old tomb, classic lithographs, customary hardwood furniture and antique Chinese ceramics.

Great food is a part of the Hong Kong culture. Sea fish with the prepared delicacies in gingers and onions are delicious. Peking Duck is a dish served in three steps. Mango pudding, hot egg tarts or a pot of tea, eating out in Hong Kong is a real merriment.
