BREATHE NEW LIFE to OUR HERITAGE Proposing Cha Chaan Teng to Be on List of World Intangible Cultural Heritage Was Once A BREATHE NEW LIFE TO OUR HERITAGE Proposing Cha Chaan Teng to be on list of World Intangible Cultural Heritage was once a hot‐button issue in 2007. Yet, it soon died out since dissidents, perceiving this culture is still vibrant, disagreed on this idea. They limited heritage worth protection only to the marginalized species. In effect, neither static stone nor stagnant slough is our heritage, but traditional and living. Therefore, heritage with significant value, including living culture, should also be safeguarded. On the other hand, heritage conservation goes beyond just preserving the pivotal elements and values. We have to rejuvenate it, raise its contemporary value, let it “flow” in society and pass on to future generation. Moreover, owing to globalization, heritage conservation is another universal act. Promoting indigenous culture abroad is also significant. Unfortunately, our bastion of heritage is not firmly‐built. In default of a comprehensive legal framework, only Declared Monuments take refuge from the law [1], but what about other graded buildings? Besides, our government appears like a toddler in this respect. Not only conservation for the Central Market seems to be the only community‐based project at hand [2], but we lack a proper listing of our intangible heritage as well. So far only Cantonese Opera and herbal tea are on list of the World Intangible Heritage. Moreover, proactive measure for identifying the heritage in need of safeguard is in shortage. People usually voice out only when strife between economic development and heritage conservation emerges [3]. Not until the announcement of removing the Queen Pier due to Central and Wan Chai Reclamation did the public protest. Being a novice in heritage conservation, Hong Kong certainly has to spare strenuous efforts to plant a warranted root. We have to try everything under the sun. 1. Legislation Any conservation work is predicated on comprehensive and coherent policy. First of all, clearer instruction should be set in deciding what to conserve [4]. Proper listing of intangible heritage can also be undertaken for identification. Besides, laws had better be as stringent as that in Japan to protect all heritages on list. Even the design of buildings, like building height and site coverage area, is complied with the law in the buffer zones in Kyoto [5]. 2. Revitalization Despite legislation, there are other means to conserve heritage. Revitalizing the whole district beyond doubt is a correct approach. Some embellishments can help further project the indigenous culture and characteristics of a place. Alongside the La Saone in Lyon, France, for instance, four buildings stand erect with oil‐painted wall featuring rituals of the local residents. Lampposts in Jingdezhen, a capital in China prominent for pottery production, are made of porcelain as well. Likewise, in our conservation projects, instead of creating another oasis of greenery, can we depict the characteristic and history of a zone better? We could have delineated the past fishing village life of Tsuen Wan on walls of buildings. 3. Revival of endangered intangible heritage To revive our marginalized intangible cultural heritage, on the other hand, we can integrate it with our existing cultural context. Take Cantonese Opera as an example. From our stereotyped impression, it is the elderly’s tinny trifle; based on Chinese history and classics, the content is so conventionally insipid. In short, it is no pleasure for teenagers. Yet, is it impossible to ignite their interest? A revolution in plot development may pacify our worries. We can indeed include some controversial issues mirroring phenomenon in our current society, such as the dimming filial piety, augmenting divorce rate and political indifference of the public, into the script. If reflection on virtues of Chinese people does not tailor to the juveniles’ taste, then such innuendo about Hongkongers may be piquant enough for them to relish watching Cantonese Opera. 4. Public’s participation Beyond all these feasible measures, public’s participation forms the prerequisite for heritage conservation. Without citizens’ concern, identification for their own heritage will probably fail. To such lengths did they abandon their tradition, history and other qualities that the heritage would be no more able to survive in contemporary life or sustain to the next generation. As a result, public awareness has to be raised. This can be done by granting them more opportunity to involve in the process of conservation, eliminating their helplessness in the matter. With the people‐oriented approach, Community Renewal Plan is a well‐illustrated project amply practiced in foreign countries like Australia and America. It amalgamates input from residents, government, business and community who undertake planning to recognize the top priorities in each zone. After identification, they submit a plan towards the place they live out of heartfelt care. More importantly, initiated from the local people rather than the government, the planning is a voluntary action [6]. In Hong Kong, all 18 districts have their own uniqueness. If our government promotes this project, our ladder to public’s participation in heritage conservation will be no more obscure. 5. Digitalization and Documentation In reality, not only the local’s enthusiasm for bulwarking heritage should we spark, but also the worldwide one. Nowadays internet culture is cosmopolitan and prevailing. Blogs preside over written diaries; Forums become bridges to connect different people to share their interests; the Internet is another cultural space on which all people endow attention. We can use this podium in a clever manner. For the sake of promoting our culture to foreigners, we should record our heritages in a systematic way such as digitalization and documentation, and exhibit them online. The website titled ChengDu Intangible Heritage Library is one of the exemplifications [7]. If words, pictures, audios and videos online can already draw the website visitors like a magnet, they may really step onto our land and appreciate our culture. Then, our aims will be attained; dreams will be realized. Myriads of lighthouses are already here, guiding the lost child who has been blundering through the dark forest the correct pathway home. Therefore, Hong Kong, don’t falter in your resolve now. It is never too late to embark on the heritage conservation work. Someday, we will forge our firmest fortress of heritage. Tomorrow, we will.

  • 20 of the Best Food Tours Around the World
    News Opinion Sport Culture Lifestyle Travel UK Europe US More Top 20s 20 of the best food tours around the world Feast your eyes on these foodie walking tours, which reveal the flavours – and culture – of cities from Lisbon to Lima, Havana to Hanoi The Guardian Wed 26 Jun 2019 14.19 BST EUROPE Porto Taste Porto’s tours are rooted in fundamental beliefs about the gastronomic scene in Portugal’s second city. First, Portuenses like to keep things simple: so, no fusion experiments. Second, it’s as much about the people behind the food, as the food itself. “Food is an expression of culture,” says US-born Carly Petracco, who founded Taste Porto in 2013 with her Porto-born husband Miguel and his childhood buddy André. “We like to show who’s doing the cooking, who’s serving the food, who’s supplying the ingredients, and so on.” She’s good to her word. Walking the city with one of the six guides feels less like venue-hopping and more like dropping in for a catch-up with a series of food-loving, old friends. Everywhere you go (whether it’s the Loja dos Pastéis de Chaves cafe with its flaky pastries or the Flor de Congregados sandwich bar with its sublime slow-roasted pork special) the experience is as convivial as it is culinary. And it’s not just food either. Taste Porto runs a Vintage Tour option that includes a final stop at boutique wine store, Touriga, where the owner David will willingly pair your palate to the perfect port.

    Hong Kong Food & Culture: From Dim Sum to Dried Abalone “This book is a must-read for every foodie who wants to gain a broad understanding of the diversity of Cantonese food in this exciting city.” - Richard Ekkebus, Amber “I was astounded by Adele’s amazingly comprehensive writing.” - Danny Yip, The Chairman “It is well researched, visiting many parts of the city — from local restaurants to small producers, purveyors, suppliers and makers of local products.” - Alvin Leung, Bo Innovation hat makes Hong Kong such an STEAMED EGG exciting food destination is that with flower crab W there are so many different styles of restaurants to choose from.
