This year, the Hong Kong Pavilion continues the spirit of the "Tastes of Hong Kong" food and art exhibition, consistently using food as the theme to communicate the city’s East-meets-West culinary charm to Taiwanese travelers. Shirley Tsui, Director of the Hong Kong Tourism Board, said that in addition to everyone getting a chance to win a Tai Hing cash voucher when purchasing a Hong Kong package, travel agencies are also offering Michelin cuisine packages, with options including top-tier Cantonese restaurants with two Michelin stars or affordable dim sum restaurants with Michelin recognition. There are also gifts such as hotel afternoon tea or cha chaan teng experience coupons. So when you travel to Hong Kong now, aside from seeing the little duck, don’t forget to heal and reward yourself with delicious food.
