Geflüchtete Hongkonger spüren Chinas langen Arm

Mehr als 150.000 Menschen sind aus Hongkong nach Großbritannien geflohen, seitdem die chinesische Regierung dort immer rigoroser gegen die Demokratiebewegung vorgeht. Doch auch in Großbritannien fühlen sie Chinas Macht. Von C. Prössl.

In many ways #Macau could be the older, but smaller sister of #Hongkong.
The former Portuguese colony is home to many cobbled lanes, churches, and buildings that are a remnant of the centuries of Chinese gentry influence, seafarer tradition, and Portuguese rule. The pace is arguably slower then in Hong Kong. But the city has a lot of history, culture and - for those who like to live on the edge - famed casinos.
One particularly nice starting point to explore the city is the A-Ma Temple in the south. With more than 500 years of history the Temple is said to be the namesake of the city and is dedicated to Mazu (媽祖) a seas goddess and patron of fishermen.

Nearby the large cargo port of #hongkong and between the #Kowloon peninsular and Lantau island are two smaller islands - Tsing Yi and Ma Wan.
Going to Ma Wan feels like going on a small vacation, as it is not very well connected and hosts mostly upscale residential buildings. Nonetheless, the beach front has stunning views of Tsing Yi and two bridges, the park is lush and hosts many animals, and strolling through the lanes of the old Ma Wan Village is an interesting contrast to the new compounds in the north.
The bridges hold a spot in my heart and look majestic any time of day. I wasn't able to capture that properly though.

In #hongkong there are many #islands, and most of them are uninhabited nowadays. During the Sai Kung Hoi Ha #Arts Festival a large team of volunteers and programmers showcases performances and installations on some of the islands in Sai Kung, a sleepy fishing and leisure district in Hong Kong's east. A ferry shuttle service is offered to, between, and from the islands, and visitors get to combine art appreciation with hiking and learning about the cultural heritage of those islands and the people who used to populate some of them.

Each year, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar calendar month, people get together to celebrate "Dragon Boat Festival" - a rather descriptive name for what is known as "端午節-Tuen Ng Festival" in Hong Kong and other parts of Guangdong. The festival takes place in early summer during the Gregorian months May or June, when the scorching heat and humidity force you to pull out the umbrella, literally come rain or shine, and slow down to the speed of a snail.
There are many different stories and folk believes surrounding this holiday in China, which is more commonly celebrated in the South. Among the most recognisable practices are the dragon boat races, which draw thousands of spectators to rivers and beaches across #hongkong and the traditional glutenous rice pyramids called 'zongzi' which come with savoury and sweet fillings.
On that day it is considered lucky to splash oneself or get into the water (particularly in places that had dragon boat races) to ward off bad luck.

If you want to watch dragon boats in action, but want to avoid the crowd during the actual holiday you can try and spot them ahead of the festival and even after as there are many races all over town.
