6 CULTURE & CUSTOMS ETIQUETTE AND CULTURAL DIFFERENCES Experiencing different cultures is one of the joys of travelling, and it is important that these differences are respected. Knowing a few important customs of Hong Kong people will help make your visit more enjoyable: DO: Leave some food in the bowl after you have finished eating Offer a light handshake upon meeting someone DON T: Point with a single finger Place your chopsticks across the top of your bowl Smoke in public places including beaches and parks since smoking is banned in public places Go nude bathing since public nudity is illegal FOOD AND DRINK In Hong Kong, you expect to find countless choices of authentic foods from all regions of China including Cantonese, Hakka, Shanghai and Szechuan. You will be amazed with the range of unique flavors and cooking styles: Cantonese cuisine is the culinary style of Guangdong Province with tender and slightly sweet taste which serves a lot of popular dishes such as dim sum, beef with oyster sauce and soy sauce chicken. Hakka food is typified by simple cooking technique with salty and strong taste. One of the popular dishes is baked chick in salt. Szechuan cuisine serves dishes with hot and spicy flavor. Barbecued meat is one the famous dishes that you may want to try. It is notable that tap water is not drinkable. Bottled water is cheap and widely available.
