Taoism is one of the oldest religions in the world and has been practiced in Hong Kong for centuries. It is based on the teachings of Lao Tzu, an ancient Chinese philosopher who emphasized the importance of living in harmony with nature. Taoism teaches that humans should try to live in a way that is in tune with the cosmic world around them. In Hong Kong, Taoism is still practiced as part of the traditional Chinese culture. People visit temples dedicated to Taoism to pray, meditate and perform rituals. Taoism has also influenced Chinese martial arts, music and literature, which can be seen in many places in Hong Kong.
