香港旅游的英语介绍
香港旅游的英语介绍Hong Kong is one of the two special administrative regions (SARs) of the People's Republic of China, along with Macau. Comprising more than 260 islands, the territory is located on the eastern side of the Pearl River Delta, bordering Guangdong province in the north and facing the South China Sea in the east, west and south.Hong Kong was a Crown colony of the United Kingdom from 1842 until the transfer of sovereignty to the People's Republic of China in 1997. The Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Basic Law of Hong Kong stipulate that Hong Kong will operate with a high degree of autonomy until at least 2047, fifty years after the transfer. Under the policy of "one country, two systems", the Central People's Government is responsible for the territory's defence and foreign affairs, while Hong Kong maintains its own legal system, police force, monetary system, customs policy, immigration policy, and delegates to international organizations and events.Hong Kong is frequently described as a city where East meets West, a meeting reflected in its economic infrastructure, education, legal system and street culture. On one street corner, there may be traditional Chinese shops selling Chinese herbal medicine, Buddhist paraphernalia or bowls of synthetic shark fin soup. But around the next, one may find theatres showing the latest Hollywood blockbuster, a British-style pub, a Catholic Church or Ronald McDonald inviting passer-bys to a Big Mac. The territory's official language is Chinese and English; signs in both languages are omnipresent throughout Hong Kong. The government, police and most workplaces and stores conduct business bilingually. British rule may have ended a decade ago but Western culture is deeply ingrained in Hong Kong and coexists seamlessly with traditional philosophy and practices of the Orient.Hong Kong has an active nightlife centred on two major entertainment districts, Lan Kwai Fong (Central) and Wan Chai. Both areas are frequented by expatriates and locals alike. For a more quiet evening, a trip to Victoria Peak offers a spectacular view of the city. There is also a promenade along the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, which is popular among young Chinese couples. Shopping, a form of entertainment for the people of Hong Kong, is even done at nighttime as evident in the Temple Street Night Market where one can also catch free performances of Peking opera.The city's cosmopolitan flavour can also be seen in the wide variety of cuisines available. While different varieties of Chinese selections, especially seafood, are most popular, there are also many European, American, Japanese, Korean, and other restaurants. Ethnic dishes served in cha chaan teng and dai pai dong are also popular. The people of Hong Kong take their food seriously and many top chefs make their way to the city to show off their talents to these discerning diners.While Hong Kong is a global centre of trade, perhaps the city's most famous export is its entertainment industry, particularly in the martial arts genre. Several top-notch Hollywood performers originate from Hong Kong cinema -- Bruce Lee, Chow Yun-Fat, Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, Jet Li and Leslie Cheung, to name a few. Behind the camera, Hong Kong filmmakers have also struck fortune in Hollywood such as John Woo, Wong Kar-wai, Tsui Hark and martial arts choreographers who have designed fight scenes in the Matrix trilogy, Kill Bill and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Back in Hong Kong, several homegrown films have also gainedinternational recognition such as Chungking Express, Infernal Affairs, Shaolin Soccer, Rumble in the Bronx and In the Mood for Love. Acclaimed filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has said he's strongly influenced by Hong Kong action cinema.The Hong Kong government also supports cultural institutions such as the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, Hong Kong Museum of Art, the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts and the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. Furthermore, the government's Leisure and Cultural Services Department also subsidizes and sponsors the bringing of international performers to Hong Kong.。

香港之旅 (Hongkong)
铜锣湾 铜锣湾位于香港岛北部，是香港最主要的购物区之一，亦是繁荣的商业 中心。该地段集中了很多购物中心、日资的百货公司以及酒店等，在街 头巷尾还有很多餐厅，所有高档次的时尚潮流物品都可以在这里找到。 现在，铜锣湾已成为尖沙咀以外最重要的旅游区。 购物商场 购物地点以「时代广场」、「崇光百货」、「皇室堡」等等，最为闻名， 世界各地的名牌时装、时尚玩意、首饰精品、家俬电器，应有尽有。
香港气候
• 香港属亚热带气候，全年的气温较高，年平均温 度为22．8℃。夏天炎热且潮湿，温度约在 26~30℃之间；冬天凉爽而干燥，但很少会降至 5℃以下。五月至九月间多雨，有时雨势颇大。夏 秋之间，时有台风吹袭，七月至九月是香港的台风 较多的季节。香港平均全年雨量2,214.3毫米，雨 量最多月份是8月，雨量最少月份是1月。 • 香港位处北半球亚热带，背靠亚欧大陆、面向太 平洋，形成海洋性亚热带季风气候，四季分明。此 外，香港市区高楼集中而密布、人口极为稠密，所 形成的微气候容易产生热岛效应，导致市区和郊区 有明显的气温差别，高层大厦林立的市区让空气中 的“悬浮粒子”较难吹散。香港市区天气炎热的日 子变得越来越长。
旅行行程
第1天 【浅水湾】：沐浴在阳光底下的浅水湾是富裕优渥的住宅区，总是弥漫一般惬意 轻松的气息。宽阔的海滩，浪花阵阵拍打，游客可尽情徜徉在沙滩漫步的快活中， 还有观音与天后两座雕像坐镇，守护着来往的渔民。 【会展中心】白色似海鸥状的建筑，中心外耸立的回归纪 念碑，及代表香港的紫 荆花铜像，诉说了九七回归历史的意味。 【船游维港】夜幕下，搭乘游船畅游维多利亚港，夜晚维多利亚港沿岸的18幢主 要建筑一一亮起璀璨灯光，加上激光舞动，展现出香港的繁华风貌，另维港夜景 更显闪烁耀目。

Hong Kong, described as a 'barren rock' over 150 years ag o, has become a worldclass financial, trading and business centre and, indeed, a g reat world city.
Victoria Harbour is the harbour between the Kowloon Peninsula and the Hong Kong Island of Hong Kong, China. With an area of about 41.88 km2 as at 2004, its natural depth and sheltered location enticed the British to occupy the island of Hong Kong during the First Opium War, and subsequently establish the colony as a trading post.
Victoria Day-blue sky and clear water, boats and million tons of ships in and out of the Harbour, more lights shine at night, creating a "Pearl of the Orient" splendid night view.
The harbour is famous for its spectacular panoramic views, and is in itself a top tourist attraction. It is a natural focal point of the territory, and considered a crucial natural geographical element for city dwellers. This sense of geographical attachment is most notably demonstrated in recent years, when the Hong Kong government’s efforts to undertake
Hong Kong became a Special Administrative Regi on (SAR) of the People's Republic of China on Jul y 1, 1997, after a century and a half of British adm inistration. Under Hong Kong's constitutional doc ument, the Basic Law, the existing economic, leg al and social system will be maintained for 50 yea rs. The SAR enjoys a high degree of autonomy ex cept in defence and foreign affairs.
