2017 is a year of significance as it marks the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the Motherland and the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR). "Together • Progress • Opportunity" is the theme of our 20th anniversary celebration which also speaks the vision of Hong Kong to join hands with the Mainland in building an even brighter future.
Hong Kong has always been a bridgehead where East meets West. Cultures around the world blend well in this modern metropolis. This has in turn nurtured its distinct flavour and character which is both Chinese and Western at the same time. As a free and open society, the Hong Kong community celebrates diversity and upholds the principles of mutual respect and inclusiveness. Our good-neighbour spirit and our inclination to seek common ground have helped the city go from strength to strength, continue to contribute to the Motherland and go global with the Mainland hand in hand.
To share the joy of the 20th anniversary with the community in Beijing, the Office of the Government of the HKSAR in Beijing is collaborating with the Beijing offices of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and Hong Kong Tourism Board to stage this dedicated events platform entitled "Let's Celebrate in Beijing". The website showcases and disseminates information on the major celebration activities organised by the HKSAR Government, performances of our major performing arts groups from Hong Kong and the events organised by the Hong Kong people and Hong Kong enterprises in Beijing.
