00:00Hong Kong has a lot to discover, from traditional festivals to world-class events.
00:06In this episode, I'll dive into the Chinese National Games competitions.
00:11I'll visit the Sotheby's art collection and soak up the atmosphere at the fiery dragon dance.
00:20At the heart of Asia, Hong Kong's blend of East and West makes it unique.
00:26A megacity full of limitless possibilities including culture, arts, sports and all that connects them.
00:33Hong Kong and its athletes have long prepared for the National Games.
00:37In a historic first, it co-hosted China's premier high-level sports competition alongside Macau and Wandong province.
00:45Over 15,000 athletes from China competed in more than 400 events across 34 sports.
00:51Eight competitions unfolded in Hong Kong's world-class sports venues.
00:56The National Games put all Hong Kong's sporting facilities into very good use
01:03and also put our ability of organising major sports events into tests.
01:13And I think we passed the test with fine colours.
01:16With that success as a foundation, Hong Kong is gearing up to host the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities
01:24and the 9th National Special Olympic Games by late 2025.
01:30From gold medals to galleries, the Sotheby's Maison Gallery stands as a top destination for art.
01:37It's right in Central's most prestigious address, the iconic Landmark Cheetah.
01:43Exquisite and unexpected objects, fine art and unforgettable experiences are open to all
01:49at its flagship design space, a cornerstone of Asia's art scene.
01:54So these are very rare things that come from the market, and normally these are things that we see in museums.
02:02It's incredible to put the culture in the center of Hong Kong, and that was really important for us.
02:07There is no right to enter. There is no door to open. You can simply come and admire all this.
02:16Strolling among these masterpieces of Chinese art, many likely bound for the world's finest museums,
02:22while surrounded by a groundbreaking architecture inspired by Taoist principles like stairs that echo the flow of Chinese nature is an experience like no other.
02:32I'll show you a Chinese scroll that dates from the 13th century.
02:39In fact, it's the emperor who wrote his own events compared to the Chinese nature.
02:45These are a bit of the same curves that you see here in architecture.
02:50So there is a real conversation, let's say, between our house, the architecture of our house, and the art works that we expose.
02:59But Chinese art and culture go beyond the gallery, coming alive in the streets.
03:05The Lantern Festival is celebrated during the autumn full moon, lighting up the streets with crowds, color, and fire.
03:13The Taihan Dragon Fire Dance is a spectacular celebration of Cantonese heritage.
03:19These volunteers preserve a 146-year-old tradition.
03:24Almond Cheng, who first began performing the dance at just 12 years old, is the troops' leader.
03:30is because of the
03:52Мы не потерялись в путь.
03:53Мы начали в путь, в путь, в путь.
03:55Мы начали в путь, в путь, в путь.
04:00С тех пор,
