Dr Lee said, “we have specifically organized the Hong Kong
Chinese Medicine Culture Festival to enable citizens to get first-hand
experience through diverse activities in various forms in these three months,
thus enhancing their interest and understanding on wisdom and concepts of CM
for fostering CM inheritance and development."
She noted the two advances for CM, namely the opening of the
Chinese Medicine Hospital of Hong Kong (CMHHK) and release of the Chinese
Medicine Development Blueprint at the end of next year.
“The CM in Hong Kong
has been experiencing a steady development over the past two decades or so,
with the application of pure traditional CM theories and methods for prevention
and treatment of diseases being a distinctive advantage,” she added.

The festival activities also include thematic talks as well
as exchange forums, workshops and seminars for members of the public and
various sectors. A number of community organisations will also hold experiential
activities, such as guided tours led by professional docents to explore herbal
plants in the countryside where participants can learn about Chinese herbal
medicine while enjoying nature.
To foster the cultural inheritance of CM, the Festival also
has in place activities targeting students, such as CM identification workshops
and CM planting activities, to cultivate the younger generation's interest in
traditional medicine.
Exhibitions and interactive booths are also open at the
Central Market today for the public to learn more about the CM culture, which
include a CM constitution identification booth, a simulated CM clinic with CM
tools and dress-up for photo-taking, information panels on health maintenance
during winter and the CMHHK model exhibition and games. CM thematic talks
covering topics such as globalisation of CM, the role of CM in primary
healthcare, CM and mental health, interesting science of CM as well as
experience of free CM consultations in different regions are also arranged for
members of the public and various sectors.
According to the schedule released by organizers (https://www.hkcmfest.gov.hk/en/about), some of these consultations will be open to all while others will be aimed at specific sectors, such as the elderly or residents of the communities where the clinics will be held.
