The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is the first public research university in Hong Kong. It was founded as a federation of three existing colleges – Chung Chi College, New Asia College and United College – the oldest of which was founded in 1949. The Chung Chi College was a consolidation of thirteen Christian universities in China before the change of regime in 1949. These thirteen Christian universities include Zhejiang University in Hangzhou established in 1845, St. John's University in Shanghai established in 1879, Lingnan University in Guangzhou established in 1888, and the Yenching University established in 1919. The Chinese University of Hong Kong, therefore, holds the deepest historical roots, positioning CUHK as the most historically rich institution of higher education in Hong Kong.

The culture of Hong Kong is primarily a mix of Chinese and Western influences, stemming from Lingnan Cantonese roots and later fusing with British culture due to British colonialism. As an international financial center dubbed "Asia's World City", contemporary Hong Kong has also absorbed many international influences from around the world. Moreover, Hong Kong also has indigenous people and ethnic minorities from South and Southeast Asia, whose cultures all play integral parts in modern day Hong Kong culture. As a result, after the 1997 transfer of sovereignty to the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong has continued to develop a unique identity under the rubric of One Country, Two Systems.
