You’d still have to explain what kind of traditions you mean.
Well, there is the cantonese ethnic group with their own traditions like food, they have a different history than people from northern china, the people may be more spiritual than mainland china, the cantonese language itself is distinctive from other chinese language (it is a dialect of the yue languages), hong kong itself has its own history and culture because it’s been an ‘east meets west’ city for so long
I don’t think these aspects are specific to HK, I would imagine it would be like someone from a minority ethnic group in South Africa or India or Afghanistan where they want to preserve their own ethnic group’s language and culture and history against the majority group’s culture

Yes.
And do maintain the struck portion, it adds all the nuance required.

If you say it as “Cultural
conservativeconservationist”, with the crossed out bit, that will signal that you’re just talking about preserving the culture and not outright ethnic chauvinism.
