Flowing from all directions, the diverse streams converge without prior planning, flowing naturally along the slopes, merging together in harmonious flow. Imagine people from different cultural backgrounds, navigating bends and corners, crossing lands, and encountering each other like a river.
In the river of Hong Kong's cultural landscape, Indian culture has always been present, interwoven with local history, becoming an integral part of this beautiful flowing stream that we share.
