Why is Hong Kong not called "Pearl of the Orient"

The origin of this reputation comes from the passengers on the plane.

In the past, the old airport was located in Kowloon City. When the plane enters Hong Kong and prepares to land, the passengers on board can see the colorful lights of Hong Kong from the window, which looks like a shining pearl from a distance, hence the name.

Victoria Harbour is a seaport between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Peninsula. Because of its vast territory and deep population, Hong Kong is known as one of the three natural harbors in the world, and because of Victoria Harbour, it is known as the Pearl of the Orient and the three major night scenes in the world.

Pearl of the Orient-Hong Kong is one of the three night scenes in the world. The night is charming, with thousands of lights, hundreds of miles of light and high waves.

Hong Kong at night is not as noisy as during the day, but it still loses its excitement. "Oriental Pearl Nightingale" takes you to the quaint peak cable car, takes you into the intoxicating night scene, and has a bird's eye view of the bustling harbor and the quaint and spectacular panoramic view of Kowloon Peninsula from the top of the mountain, which is gorgeous and moving. Then take a tour bus to "Bauhinia" to roam the famous Victoria Harbour. Neon lights and waves are fascinating. You can enjoy a rich buffet dinner in the sea restaurant "Bauhinia", and then you can dance on the dance floor and enjoy yourself. Finally went to the exotic and lively Lan Kwai Fong.

Lan Kwai Fong

As we all know, Lan Kwai Fong was just a quiet and nameless port on the edge of Central 20 years ago, and now it has developed into an exotic fashion food street and bar street.

Hong Kong is endowed with unique terrain. Before 1997, it was under the administration of Britain. In the 1970s and 1980s, China was still under the administration of the government that produced goods. China's foreign policy has not yet developed, and China's food, steel, wood and other materials are relatively cheap, attracting many countries to buy goods from China. As the import and export trade has to be transported to all parts of the world through Hong Kong's seaport, Hong Kong is the only place that can be transshipped to China, because the seabed of Victoria Harbour is deep enough. Foreign cargo ships can enter and exit, and they can enter and exit freely, so Victoria Harbour is as precious as pearls, and it is also called the Pearl of the Orient. In addition, the neon signs on both sides of Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong are dense, so it is also called the shining pearl of the East ~ ~ ~

Why can't Macau serve as a seaport for trade with China? The bottom of the Macao sea is not deep enough, so long-distance cargo ships can't enter the Macao harbor ~ ~ ~

Samuel Hui has a song praising Hong Kong ... "In Hong Kong, there is a pearl shining" ... It was written after Hong Kong was called the Pearl of the Orient.
