Giản thể: 爱上一座城——香港
香港，历来被人们称为“东方明珠”。它长久以来都是中国与世界连接的一个重要通道，因此快速成为了一个世界级的国际大都市和金融中心。
刚到香港时，常常惊讶于这里老旧的街道，汹涌的人群，高昂的物价还有狭小的房间。走在路上和地铁里，你都会感叹这里的人们生活节奏如此之快，就连电梯都比别的城市快不少。
但是，渐渐地，你也会发现这是一座很容易让人喜欢上的城市。就算身处市中心，步行一段时间，也能很容易地来到一个“世外桃源”，也许是一个郊野公园，也许是一段行山道，也许是一个小小的海滩，都能让你暂时忘记繁忙的生活，在自然中自由呼吸。虽然这是一座金融之城，但也充满着浓浓的生活气息。随处可见的便利店、咖啡馆、街市、商场让这里的生活非常便利。人们大多亲切友好，服务人员也很专业，英文程度很高，所以就算是不会中文的外国人也会觉得很舒服。这里不但有世界闻名的米其林高级餐厅，也有路边不同风味的茶餐厅和小食摊，总有适合你的选择。
香港，一个非常特别的城市。中与西，新与旧，快与慢，贫与富，如此完美地结合在一起。有机会，欢迎来香港看一看！

English: The City I Love – Hong Kong
Hong Kong has always been known as ‘the Jewel of the Orient’. For a long time it was an important gateway between China and the rest of the world, and it is for this reason that it rapidly became a world-class metropolis and financial centre.
When first arriving in Hong Kong, I was often surprised by the the old-fashioned roads, the turbulent crowds, the high prices, and the small and narrow rooms that are found here. Walking on the streets and in the subways, you might sigh when you see how fast-paced the lives of the people living here are; even the elevators are much faster than in other cities.
But gradually you will discover that this is a city that easily gains the love of the people. Even downtown you just have to walk a little while before you arrive at a ‘haven of peace’; maybe it’s a park, maybe it’s a little beach, whatever the case these little havens allow you to temporarily forget your busy life, and amongst the nature you are free to breathe. Although this is a financial city, it is filled with rich flavour of life. Wherever you look there are convenience stores, cafes, street-markets, and shopping malls which all make life here very convenient. Most people are cordial and friendly, attendants are very professional, and the level of English is quite high, so even foreigners who can’t speak Chinese will still feel comfortable here. Not only are there world famous and high-ranking Michelin restaurants here, there are also tea-houses and food-stalls with distinct local flavours, so there is always something that suits your taste.
Hong Kong is a very unique city. Chinese and western, new and old, fast and slow, poor and rich, so perfectly joined together. If you have a chance, come to Hong Kong and check it out!
