In recent years, the introduction of China's visa-free entry policies has led to a significant boost in the tourism sector. More foreign visitors are eager to explore China's famous attractions and advanced technology, yet they often overlook the rich charm and wisdom of the country's intangible cultural heritage.

Currently, China has over 40 items recognized as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, including beautiful arts, immersive dances, delicious foods, and traditional crafts. Since 2006, the second Saturday in June has been marked as "Cultural and Natural Heritage Day." This year, Hong Kong proudly launched its first "Intangible Cultural Heritage Month," featuring over 100 items such as lion dances, fire dragon dances, and Cantonese opera. Visitors can also participate in hands-on activities like making calligraphy brushes and traditional sticky rice dumplings.

In today's Henry's Take, Dr. Henry Ho will guide us through the unique heritage items of the Mainland and Hong Kong, highlighting the exciting events in Hong Kong this month. Let's experience the timeless beauty of intangible cultural heritage together and invite foreign tourists to discover our cultural treasures.
