All about mahjong: Hong Kong parlour inducts newbies to beloved game
Angus Hung, a Hong Kong resident who has played mahjong for most of his life, recently visited a mahjong parlour for the first time and was surprised by the welcoming and lively atmosphere. He had previously associated such establishments with negative stereotypes, but his experience at the Hong Kong Mahjong Company's open house in Wan Chai proved otherwise.
Hung, who works in insurance, had heard rumors of illicit activities in mahjong parlours, but instead found a comfortable venue filled with laughter and the sounds of clacking tiles. This experience challenged his preconceived notions and highlighted the potential for mahjong parlours to be positive spaces for entertainment and social interaction.
