Guida
The Hong Kong House 2026 Opening & Cultural Exchange Event is a special program offering a glimpse into the traditional culture of the Hakka people. The event features traditional music performances by artists Wan Sek Cheung and Wong Choi Mei. Hakka music, which reflects the history of agricultural life and daily routines, is characterized by a unique style of 'calling' from one hill to another. This event aims to foster cultural exchange and preserve traditional heritage.
The main attraction is the traditional vocal performance preserved by the Hakka people. The music performed by the two artists is more than just a song; it is a cultural expression of life's struggles and human emotions. The singing style, which resonates across hills and spaces, brings a unique rhythm to the everyday landscape. Through these traditional melodies, you can directly feel the cultural background of Hong Kong and how music is deeply rooted in daily life.
The event takes place from July 18, 2026, to July 26, 2026. Specific performance times will be held within designated time slots during this period. In past instances, performances have been held during evening hours. We recommend checking official information closer to the date for the detailed schedule.
The venue is the area around 'Kamigo Klobuza' and the 'Kamigo Shinachiku Festival Venue' in Minamiuonuma City, Niigata Prefecture. Kamigo Klobuza serves as a local cultural hub, and the performances are designed to harmonize with the surrounding natural scenery. Access to the venue is via public transportation or car; please check the routes through the local settlements before heading out.
