Culture of Hong Kong

Though Hong Kong was dominated and ruled by Britishers for long yet the culture of Hong Kong remained undiluted. While you are in Hong Kong…you can sense and smell the Culture of Hong Kong in every aspect of the capital city. Most of the Chinese in Hong Kong are either Taotists or Buddhists. There are more than 600 religious shrines built in residential areas where one can get hi fortune told at a small fee.

Taking a look at the Hong Kong Travel Guide, you'll come to know that the culture in Hong Kong reflects through the various parts of the city like its temples, monuments, festivals, traditions and its people. The various festivals of Hong Kong that are window to peep in to the culture of the city are the Chinese New Year, Ching Ming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid- autumn festival.

You'll also find the Culture of Hong Kong lurking in the unique lion dance that is arranged for in during special celebrations. During festival times and other occasion you can see the culture of Hong Kong shining in the shops and streets of Hong Kong. The Dragon boat race held in Hong Kong has turned international and you'll see people moon gazing during the Modern Mid-autumn festival. Tea drinking is also considered an important aspect of Chinese Hong Kong Culture.

Though people from the older generation sigh and complain that the new generation is not following the traditions and cultures but it's not the fact. The way of implementing the tradition has changed… these days during winter solstice, instead of getting together at relatives place; leading to many bowls and plates to be washed, people prefer to get together at a Chinese restaurant. The style might have changed but the charm of the traditional get-together remains the same as ever.
