When you see mooncakes appearing in every stop of your Sightseeing Tour in Hong Kong, you will know it is that time of the year again! The Mid-Autumn Festival! This long-held celebration was traditionally a thanksgiving for the harvest. The moon plays a main role and is symbolised by the mooncake. This round shaped delicacy represents completeness and unity, and is meant to be shared to bring family and friends together. Whether you are on a Private Food Tour, Private Customised Tour, or a Private Night Tour with us, just simply ask your Hello Hong Kong Guide to include a mooncake in your Personal Tour Hong Kong. #getinmybelly #goodeats #travel #traveloften #wanderlust #discoverhongkong #love #food #foodporn #eathongkong #foodie #foodadventure #hk #tourism #travelbug #hellohongkongtours #hkfoodie
The Confucian culture emphasises respect for one's parents, elders and ancestors. With this in mind, the sight of ancestral shrines on our walking tours in Hong Kong, are not rare. These shrines are dedicated to deified ancestors and progenitors of surname lineages or families in the Chinese traditional religion. Depending on the ethnic background these temple settings may vary. Your well informed Hello Hong Kong tour guide will be able to tell you more about it on your Hong Kong sightseeing!

When you are on our food tour in Hong Kong you will get to experience "Yum Cha". This is a Chinese style brunch that involes drinking tea (Yum Cha! literally: Drink Tea!) and eating Dim Sum. Traditionally, Yum Cha is practised in the mornings or early afternoons. The custom is to pour tea for others first before one's own cup. Good manners are to be the first to pour tea! So, if you want to impress your Hello Hong Kong Food Tour group and your guide, be the first to pour the tea for everyone! :-)

These are just some of the spirit tablets in the ancestral hall at Pak Sing temple. The communal hall houses the spirit tablets of many common people who died in Hong Kong but who had no family to come and pay respects to them. Common rituals are offered for all of the spirits housed within it to make sure none of the spirits start to wander and cause mischief.
It is traditional to burn paper objects at temples around HK. Once these are burned to ash it is said that the gods have received your gift and will repay you in kind.
