HONG KONG - The cultural authorities of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) plans to hold a fun day Saturday to showcase a variety of Hong Kong intangible cultural heritage (ICH) items, it said Wednesday.
According to the Intangible Cultural Heritage Office (ICHO), the event includes a wide array of activities, such as Cantonese opera, unicorn coloring and King of the Ghosts face mask drawing workshops.
A video program entitled "ICH Legacy: Passing on with Passions" will be screened and ICH tours will also be arranged for visitors to learn about ICH items, said the ICHO.
