📣 Hinweise für Reisende

Hong Kong is a diverse global city that blends Chinese culture with visible British influences, while also incorporating elements from various global locations, such as Vietnam and Vancouver.

• Dragon Boat racing is featured at sites like Silver Mine Bay (Mui Wo, Lantau Island) and during the Tuen Ng Festival.
• Lion dancing is a common spectacle during Chinese New Year celebrations.
• Halloween is celebrated with decorations and special programs in shopping centers, though 'trick or treating' is uncommon. Attractions like Ocean Park and Disneyland are popular.
• Christmas combines Western and local traditions. Travelers should anticipate festive decorations and holiday dining options, especially at high-end restaurants. Shopping centers expect large crowds due to sales.
• Do not stick chopsticks vertically in a rice bowl, as this is associated with death. When using chopsticks, avoid moving dishes or making noise. When receiving tea, tapping two or three fingers on the table is customary to thank the server. For tea refills, leave the teapot lid open. Utensils can often be rinsed in a hot tea bowl before eating. Dress codes are generally flexible, with both formal and casual attire common.
