Hong Kong in China

Hong Kong is the pronunciation obtained form the Cantonese writing of Fragrant Port. Hong Kong was indeed originally a harbor town but the name fragrant is a mystery. It was been supposed it could either mean the fresh pearl river waters that run into the harbor or it could even be reference to the multitude of incense factories on the coast.

Hong Kong is an industrious city with strong British connections and is now the financial capital of the world. It has a stunning skyline especially at night and a terrific night life to compliment this. You can see the best view of the night time skyline from Victoria Peak.
