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.
