Hong Kong City Breaks
Hong Kong is a city with many personalities. Were the blend of East and West, old and new live together in harmony. People here continue to pray and make offerings at more than 600 old and new temples, shrines and monasteries scattered around Hong Kong, some are ancient, such as Man Mo Temple on Ladder Street in Western District, Hong Kong's oldest and one of its most important places of worship. Wong Tai Sin in Kowloon is always crowded with worshippers burning incense.

Old and new meet in one of Hong Kong's latest attractions, the Chi Lin Nunnery in Kowloon, a living museum of the Tang monastic style combining ancient architecture and modern technology.

Traditional Chinese culture thrives in this city of life. In Temple Street Market a flamboyant Chinese opera bursting with colour and energy is performed on outdoor stages. During Chinese New Year, or any auspicious occasion, Lion and Dragon dancers bring action to the streets with their dynamic performances that are part dance, part acrobatics.
