Hong Kong Week 2014, an annual cultural exchange event with Taiwan, will be held in Taipei on October 17.
It will feature a host of programmes offering Taiwan viewers a close look at the essence and spirit of Hong Kong culture.

One of Hong Kong's most important performing arts, Cantonese opera will be performed to Taiwan audiences for the first time in a direct on-stage collaboration with the island’s traditional Chinese opera.

An exhibition curated by the Hong Kong Heritage Museum showcasing 13 items of Hong Kong’s intangible cultural heritage will be held to show the city’s folk traditions.
