THE PERFECT YING and YANG

by travelagent4thailand - last update: Feb 8, 2004

THE MIDDLE OF THINGS

The midst of all
HONG KONG, known in Cantonese as Fragrant Harbor...is not just a harbor anymore!

HONG KONG is the perfect YING & YANG!

The culture is integrated with rich CHINESE heritage + the western consumers market attitude! As soon as you step off your plane into the airport, HKG boasts its power steel and glass architectural structure.

Down into the streets, each day, HKG reveals hard working Chinese workers hawking along the street sides to multi millionaires rolling in their roaring red Bentley's.

HKG is possibly one of the world's largest consumer's market. It's a habit for local to go shopping , dine, and entertain themselves daily!

Local shop houses are stacked with the latest consumer's goods from electronics to automobile spare parts!

Many peole compare SINGAPORE or TOKYO with this little island. I say, it's far above that!

People here live the perfect YING and YANG, they still eat with chopsticks, spit chicken bones next to their bowls, get loud....at the same time living one of the meanest economy's bustles with a the latest cell phones & 3G gadgets and pursing Ferragamo's latest leather cases, running into the subway...

This is where Chinese cuisine is at its best, no short stops for cheapies. Bring your platinum cards....rub elbows with british citizens of hong kong nationals or negotiate with hawkers from it's neighboring mother nation!
