Drag queens and refugee stories: touring the ‘real’ Hong Kong. By Joyce Zhou
HONG KONG (Reuters) – Guide Michael Tsang was able to take tourists freely around Asia’s financial hub in 2019, introducing them the city’s protest movement, explaining “one country, two systems” and showing them scenes of economic inequality.
Since the coronavirus pandemic cut off foreign visitors and a sweeping national security law passed last year limited what Tsang’s tours could show, his business has been hit hard. So he shifted to attract local residents with activism tours, including the city’s LGBT movement and refugee community.
During an August tour he took 30 people to a drag show with a person called “Miss Tina Ugly Hair” who styles herself after singer Christina Aguilera. Prancing up and down a bar in the city’s Soho district in high heels and a mesh top, Tina details some of her life stories before lip syncing and gyrating for the audience, who applaud loudly.
