Culture
Beyond the glass and steel of Hong Kong's commercial persona, the city also boasts a vi-
brant cultural scene that features the eclectic influences of its Chinese roots, colonial con-
nections and a wondrous pool of homegrown talent. Here, you're just as likely to find your-
self applauding at Asia's top film festival as joining in dawn taichi or reading the couplets of
a local poet to the drumbeat of a dragon boat. Culture could also mean indie music under the
stars, a classy art walk, your first Cantonese opera - not to mention the exhibitions and
events staged year-round at the many museums and concert halls.
