Discovering Diversity: A Community Tour of Tsim Sha Tsui

We were glad to organize the Tsim Sha Tsui community tour for staff from Hong Kong Baptist University, alongside their family and friends, to enhance their understanding of our vibrant ethnically diverse communities, as well as their daily lives and stories.

Tsim Sha Tsui is a bustling area known for its rich cultural attractions, historic buildings, and buildings. Our Cultural Ambassadors guided participants on an immersive journey to explore the lesser-known side of Tsim Sha Tsui, visiting the Kowloon Mosque and Chungking Mansions together.

Kowloon Mosque is the largest mosque in Hong Kong. Our Cultural Ambassadors introduced the greetings used, as well as the beliefs, customs, and practices of Muslims. By enhancing cultural awareness, this helps staff build better relationships and understanding with Muslim students at the university.

“Visiting the prayer hall in the mosque was the most memorable experience; it feels more quiet and peaceful than I had imagined. The space is large and well-utilized, and I can imagine how stunning it would be to see it filled with worshippers during prayer time.”

Our Cultural Ambassadors then led the participants to explore Chungking Mansions, a captivating blend of different cultures. Inside Chungking Mansions, we visited a variety of shops and restaurants, each representing different cultural essences. From Islamic stores to South Asian salons, every stop offered a glimpse into the diversity of cultures there. Participants had the chance to learn more about the stories of the shop owners and their contributions to Hong Kong. This exploration not only enriched participants' understanding of diversity but also highlighted how collaboration and cultural diversity foster connections and developments among different people in Hong Kong.

“Visiting Chungking Mansions was quite impressive; I normally do not have the opportunity to visit, and this time, with a guided introduction, I could learn a lot.”
