Chinese culture, as seen through its performing arts, is enjoyed around the world. This worldwide following comprises not only local Chinese communities, but also non-Chinese visitors. Have you ever wondered why Bruce Lee remains an icon of the Chinese martial art of kung fu, long after his death? Perhaps every morning, as you walk past the park near your home, you see a group of energetic elderly people and wonder what graceful exercise they are doing. Maybe you have seen a performance of Chinese artists wearing heavy make-up and shining costumes—while singing high-pitched songs with lyrics that are incomprehensible to your ears! Kung fu, tai chi and Cantonese opera are just some of the many time-honoured Chinese art forms. We welcome you to take a peek into the Cultural Kaleidoscope, to be guided through the amazing world of traditional Chinese arts in the East-meets-West city of Hong Kong.
