Travel Guide, Hong Kong
Hong Kong means "fragrant harbour" in local Chinese language. This name was given out of the smell of incense, a major commercial product in old times, enveloping the famous harbour of this ex village of fisherman currently known as one of the most vibrant hub of Asia and the world, the shopping paradise for the visitors and the powerful connection between China and other countries. Hong Kong is a major gap-city between the East and the West. Its population is increasingly diversified both multiculturally and socially and the architectural structure and views are among the most fascinating.
