Hand-Carved Mahjong Tiles
Duration
2 hours
Overview
-
In this meaningful 2-hour experience, our mahjong tile master will share stories about the peak of mahjong tile shops when they used to be spread throughout each district. But since the invention of electronic mahjong tables and other forms of entertainment become more readily accessible, the hand-carved mahjong tile industry has taken a sharp downturn. In fact, there are less than a handful of shops left in Hong Kong that sell these artisan mahjong tiles.
In addition to hearing their colorful stories, you will have the privilege of seeing the master in action while he shows off his carving skills that have been honed over the past 5 decades. You will then get to experience this art yourself and carve your own mahjong tile with the master’s careful guidance.
Catch this rare opportunity to experience a time-honored tradition before it’s too late.
