Hong Kong shares many of its faces with its beholders; each contributes to the uniqueness of this sub-tropical harbor.

Cantonese Opera
Cantonese Opera was added to UNESCO’s list “Intangible Cultural Heritage” in 2009. Its fanatics in Hong Kong watch over 1000 shows every year. With more potential to exploit, the Civil Affairs Bureau devoted HK$69m last year to support the promotion of the 300-year-old traditional art.
World Island
With its 5000 islanders from around 60 nationalities, Lamma Island is indeed a world island, although you can get there in a ferry in no more than 30 minutes from Kong Kong’s business hub.
Healthy City
In 2009, Hong Kong men live a life expectancy of 80 years, and women enjoys over 86 years averagely; And it makes Hong Kong one of the most long-live cities in the world.
Tea Consumption
Chinese can’t live without tea; and Hongkongers are no exception. “Each of the city’s million inhabitants consumes a yearly average of nearly 1.4 kilos of tea-almost triple the world average and more than any other world city”.
