Hong Kong media are marking the start of China Tibetan Culture Week, saying it provides an opportunity for Hong Kong residents to enjoy Tibetan culture.

Published by July 17

The Saturday editorial of Hong Kong's Wen Hui Po newspaper says the culture week deepens ties between Hong Kong and the mainland, strengthens cultural exchange between China and the world, and enhances the cohesiveness of the Chinese nation.

The cultural week started Friday and features many activities including a series of Buddhist rituals and exhibitions, marking the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Tibet Autonomous Region.

The Tibet Autonomous Regional Song and Dance Ensemble will first give an informal public performance free of charge Sunday afternoon, allowing local residents to enjoy the unique charm of the Tibetan culture.

About sixteen living Buddhas will carry out religious rituals during the cultural week to pray for peace and stability, and bring prosperity to Buddhist believers.

Tibetan pictures, rare cultural relics and scroll paintings will also be on display during the cultural week.

Visitors will also be able to watch TV programmes on the beautiful natural scenery of the region, as well as on the cultural variety and historical social changes in Tibet.
