Two Worlds United Programs in Honk Kong for High School students
There
is no place quite like Hong Kong on this earth. As a
destination, Hong Kong sells itself through contented shoppers,
sightseers, and gourmands, who return home extolling the
experience of a few days spent in frantic pursuit of pleasures
around the perimeter of the world's most exciting harbor.
What Lord Palmerston, Queen Victoria's foreign secretary, once
called a "barren rock" has become one of the 20th
century's most astounding products. Its prosperity
and vitality result from the city's the ability to bend with
political winds from all directions. Great fortunes can be made
almost daily.
With the opening of a superhighway through the New Territories,
the rest of China will become an even more attractive extension
of Hong Kong visits. The construction of more and more
first-class hotels and the reduction in transpacific airfares
also add to Hong Kong's appeal as the second most popular
destination on Asia tour programs.
The 1990s have been one of Hong Kong's more interesting and
eventful periods, as the territory has prepared to become a
"Special Administrative Region" of the most populated
country in the world—with its own laws, currency, and
guarantees of individual liberties. |
