Hong Kong is Asia's international metropolis, and welt-known as "The Pearl of the East." Some say that the name "Hong Kong" (literally "fragrant harbor") comes from the sweetness of its spring water, and some say it is so named because it used to export fragrant wood. After its return to China in 1997 the governance of Hong Kong changed. Instead of the past British colonial rule, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) has adopted the policies of "One Country, Two Systems" and "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy." Despite many heated discussions, democracy in Hong Kong is moving forward progressively as specified by the Basic Law. The economy of Hong Kong is vibrant and competitive. As a free harbor geographically backed by China's mainland, Hong Kong has abundant economic advantages that created economic miracles time and again, as it understands the dynamics of international markets, making itself one of the "Four Asian Tigers."Hong Kong boasts a fusion of Western and Chinese culture; while traditional Chinese culture is well preserved, the influence of Western culture is ubiquitous. Every aspect of social life reflects a diverse, harmonious, open and inclusive society. Hong Kong is the must-go-to spot in Asia.
