Mei is a passionate guardian of Hong Kong's tangible and intangible heritage, bridging the gap between ancient traditions and the modern world. With a deep academic background and a role as a consultant for local museums, she deconstructs complex cultural nuances for visitors, explaining the "why" behind rituals like villain hitting or fire dragon dances. She specializes in respectful cultural immersion, guiding travelers on temple etiquette, historical architecture, and the duality of British and Chinese influences. Mei's writing is profound and educational, aimed at travelers seeking to understand the soul of the city beyond the shopping malls and skyscrapers.
