Long-term influence of western culture could not break down the relationship of local people with their religion and culture. Hong Kong people are very superstitious, because of the influence of old traditions and customs.
There are really many interesting festivals, fairs and celebrations during a year in Hong Kong.
Public opinion is very important for the residents of the city. A person with a prestigious profession is respected by everyone.
Even people from not rich families always organize posh celebrations, and wedding ceremonies here often look like royal events – getting admiration of others is very important for local people.
