There are too many stories in Hong Kong. Every street, every old building, every brick and stone has countless vicissitudes and endless fleeting years, which precipitate years and emotions, happiness and sadness.

? In my mind, Hong Kong has always been synonymous with metropolis and internationalization. With a population of nearly 1000 square kilometers, this city is one of the regions with the highest population density in the world, and its life expectancy is actually the highest in the world. This place, which is out of ammunition and food, is blooming on the world stage with its unique charm.

? Hong Kong is a highly prosperous free port and an international metropolis. Together with new york and London, it is also called "Newport". It is the third largest financial center in the world, an important international financial, trade and shipping center and an international innovation and technology center. It is also one of the freest economies and most competitive cities in the world. It enjoys a high reputation in the world and is rated as the third largest first-tier city in the world by GaWC.

? Hong Kong has been a territory of China since ancient times, and was once a British colony during 1842- 1997. After World War II, Hong Kong's economy and society developed rapidly, becoming not only one of the "Four Little Dragons in Asia", but also one of the richest, most developed and highest living standards regions in the world. On July 6th, the China government resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region was established. The central government has full power over Hong Kong. Hong Kong has maintained its original capitalist system for a long time, enjoying a high degree of autonomy in all matters except foreign affairs and national defense. It participated in many international organizations and conferences in the name of "China Hongkong". "One country, two systems", "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong" and a high degree of autonomy are the basic national policies of the China government.

Hong Kong is also a place where Chinese and Western cultures blend together, combining the wisdom of China people with the advantages of western social system. It is famous for its clean government, good public order, free economic system and perfect legal system, and has the reputation of "Pearl of the Orient", "Gourmet Paradise" and "Shopping Paradise".

? The early summer in Hong Kong is humid, hot and rainy. There are many high-rise buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbour, but Hong Kong in the world of mortals is hidden in the old streets and alleys behind it.

? As an ordinary person who has been to Hong Kong many times, I prefer to open these gorgeous curtains in Hong Kong and walk into the streets to experience the life of ordinary people and the other side of Hong Kong.

? Causeway Bay is where I have always lived in Hong Kong. I remember 1992 staying in a hotel on Nathan Road for the first time, passing through Europe. At that time, most people in Hong Kong could not speak Mandarin, and it took a lot of time to stay in hotels. Mandarin is like a chicken talking to a duck. I didn't understand it after listening for a long time. Fortunately, I know English, and I had a brainwave. I switched to English and successfully completed the check-in procedure. I can't help feeling that moving from Europe is a good thing.

? That's right. Just started working, the salary is not high. When I first came to Hong Kong, I felt that all the prices were surprisingly high. I only went out for a walk in Nuo Nuo, but I ended up empty-handed.

After 17, I lived in Causeway Bay, and everything around me was not what it used to be. Almost all high-end shopping malls have changed their doors and changed their old appearance. Times Square, sogou Department Store and Stage Square are row upon row. The huge glass curtain walls of these skyscrapers set each other off. It seems that there are countless suns shining on your head during the day, and colorful neon lights will break through the night sky at night. This is a city that never sleeps. I like to walk on the pedestrian street in Causeway Bay, visit humble pharmacies, and buy some Chinese patent medicines that are usually very easy to use to prevent mosquito bites or abrasions, or buy some day cream, night cream, eye cream, anti-Shuang Shuang and facial mask, which are said to be cheaper than cosmetics stores such as Sasha and Zhuo Yue. If you are thirsty, you can buy a glass of iced juice in the street. My favorite is Taiwan Province milk tea. If you are hungry, you can try some special snacks such as beef offal and mutton kebabs in online celebrity shops. Those who like dessert are even more delicious. There are dessert shops everywhere, including bean paste, double skin milk and glutinous rice balls.

? Gastrointestinal tract is a scarce resource in 2 1 century. We have repeatedly reminded ourselves not to eat enough, otherwise our long-cherished wish of going to Lan Kwai Fong for dinner will be ruined.

At dusk, we deliberately chose to take a tinkling car to Lan Kwai Fong, because every time we brake, there will be a tinkling sound, so it is affectionately called a tinkling car by Hong Kong people. This means of transportation, which was born at the beginning of last century, has now become a unique cultural brand in Hong Kong. It is said that this is the only double-decker tram in the world at present. Although extremely slow, it carries the nostalgia of Hong Kong people for the old days. Every tinkling car is painted with a different pattern. Colorful cars slowly walk through the streets, from the dilapidated old city to the fashionable shopping area to the modern financial area, just like crossing the tunnel of time, taking you from the past to the present and then leading you to the future. I don't know when it began to rain outside the window. The kind people in the back row enthusiastically helped me pull up the window glass. In a short time, the drizzle blurred the street view outside the window and brought me back to reality from my memories just now.

? An hour later, we finally arrived at our destination ~ Central, when the rain just stopped.

? In Hong Kong, there are many independent bars besides luxury hotels. Hong Kong is not big, and there are many bars. Lan Kwai Fong, Lockhart Road, Wan Chai and Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, which are full of petty bourgeoisie, are all areas where bars are concentrated. However, the most famous and distinctive bar area belongs to Lan Kwai Fong.

? Lan Kwai Fong is an L-shaped building. The street is not long, but there are 50 bars with different characteristics and exotic customs. Walking to Lan Kwai Fong, the atmosphere is completely different from that in Central. This path paved with stone eggs is full of European sentiment, and there are many bars and restaurants on both sides. Most bars are open from noon to 1 am or later. Bars in Britain and Australia and karaoke bars in Japan serve snacks all day. At night, walking in the colorful bar street, there are foreigners who speak standard Mandarin and promote their own bar characteristics. The street is very narrow, and the tables and chairs of every household almost fill the whole street. Foreigners who like drinking simply stand on the street, chatting while drinking beer, and even dancing excitedly, which attracts people around them to applaud. Perhaps this is the true temperament of people who like beer, and it also adds another kind to the street. Inadvertently, a figure with red hair, exaggerated metal earrings and a gorgeous dress passed me like a ghost. The strong perfume smell on my body makes me almost breathless. I looked intently and saw that he was a man with heavy makeup. I was stunned by his gesture of smiling back! Is it one of the characteristics of Lan Kwai Fong that the world is big and there are many wonders?

? "China people are delicious, and I think this is something to be proud of, because eating is a basic art of life." I always remember this sentence of Zhang Ailing. Therefore, no matter where you go, it is the first thing to find good food and enjoy eating. When I first arrived at Lan Kwai Fong, the first store I saw was actually the famous Yongji Roasted Goose. You knew about this gourmet brand when you were in college in Guangzhou more than 30 years ago. What are you waiting for?

The first floor is probably afternoon tea, and the guests from south to north are still chatting. We were taken to the second floor. Maybe this is a place for guests who come to eat. The tablecloth is white and clean. All kinds of ceramic ornaments are placed on the shelves around. Because we came early, our seats were arranged in a quiet place near 18 Lohan by the window. After studying the hardcover menu, we quickly made up our minds. Yongji Roasted Goose, Shunde Fermented Tofu, Abalone and Sea Cucumber, Lettuce in Oyster Sauce, Fried Rice Noodles, I'm afraid we ordered more if the waiter wasn't serious and responsible. Different from other roasted geese, the meat selected by Yongji Roasted Goose is not fatty. After the dishes are served, they will be poured with exclusive honey juice. Suddenly, the unique smell of roast goose makes your mouth water, and you feel more delicious when you eat it.

? On the day we leave Hong Kong, because we have a whole morning, we can spend time visiting the yacht marina in Victoria Harbour. We happened to meet some young people practicing yoga. An Indian man with eight muscles gently lifted his left leg close to his head and his right leg stood firmly on the ground. A young girl with bronzed skin put her hands on the ground and her legs were in the air. They seem to be making a propaganda film, all with stunts and graceful manners.

? At this moment, Victoria Harbour is the prelude to the coming storm. The sky is gloomy, making the whole sea dark brown. Colorful yachts and white sailboats seem to be embedded in a huge oil painting canvas, which is quiet and serene. Suddenly, a beam of sunlight penetrated the thick clouds like a sword and projected on the quiet Victoria Bay, breaking the short silence just now. The water began to stir and the waves beat against the river bank. Many innocent fish were thrown to the shore, struggling and jumping, but they could never return to their homes in the sea! Life is impermanent, so is everything in nature?
