Hong Kong, the full name of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, is a prosperous international metropolis and the third largest financial center in the world after London and New York.
Hong Kong is located east of the Pearl River Estuary, across the Shenzhen River from Shenzhen City in Guangdong Province, and on the edge of the South China Sea.
Before 1840, Hong Kong was a small fishing village; from 1842 to 1997, Hong Kong was a British colony.
After the Second World War, Hong Kong's economy and society developed rapidly and became a wealthy, developed and high-level city. In the 1980s, it became one of the "Four Asian Tigers".
On July 1, 1997, China resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong.
Hong Kong implements a capitalist system and enjoys many important advantages such as independent legislation, judiciary, administration, exemption from paying taxes to the central government, and a free trade port. It is famous for its clean government, good public security, free economic system and perfect rule of law.
At the same time, Hong Kong is also a place where Chinese and Western cultures blend. It is one of the safest, richest and most prosperous regions in the world. It is also an important financial and shipping hub and one of the most competitive cities in the international and Asia-Pacific regions. Its economic freedom has always been among the highest.
It ranks among the best in the world and is known as the "Pearl of the Orient".
At dusk, Robin Hood boarded the bus bound for Hong Kong at Huanggang Port in Futian District.
Huanggang Port is the only port with 24-hour customs clearance, and there are many people. After crossing the border, you can take the shuttle bus from Huanggang to Lok Ma Chau and you can reach Hong Kong. This route is also one of the first choices for tourists going to Hong Kong to visit and shop.
And it only costs eight Hong Kong dollars per person, operates 24 hours a day, and runs every five minutes.
The sunset is like a red ribbon, dancing in the sky.
Various majestic and tall buildings pass by on both sides, highlighting the wealth and prosperity of New China.
Robin Hood is sitting in the corner, like an ordinary tourist.
The in-car TV was playing travel guides about Hong Kong, and there were tourists visiting Hong Kong for the first time in the car, talking excitedly to each other.
When it got dark, Robin Hood had already arrived in this world-renowned international metropolis.
In fact, Hong Kong’s first impression on Robin Hood was not as beautiful as Shenzhen.
This is true, because Hong Kong began to develop rapidly in the 1950s and 1960s, and many high-rise buildings were built. Now, after the baptism of time, many of these high-rise buildings are dilapidated, so naturally they cannot be compared with the emerging city of Shenzhen.
.
But there is one thing. Hong Kong is very prosperous and very clean.
Walking in the gaps between high-rise buildings, you will not feel depressed, but will feel friendly and fall in love with it.
When he got off the bus, Robin Hood saw a man dressed as a salesman on the side of the road doing a Cup Noodles promotion. He kept shouting to the passengers getting off the bus: "Cup Noodles! Delicious Cup Noodles! Buy one, get one free."
!”
Robin Hood walked to the hawker's stall and looked at the hawker up and down.
He has a crew cut and a very ordinary appearance, the kind of person who can't be found in a crowd.
The man noticed Robin Hood looking at him, raised his head and smiled at Robin Hood: "Boss, do you want to buy cup noodles?"
Robin Hood asked: "Is there any sauerkraut and beef noodles flavor?"
The hawker smiled and said apologetically: "Sorry, most of the seafood flavors here in Hong Kong!"
Robin Hood said: "What if I insist on eating sauerkraut and beef?"
The vendor raised his chin: "Come with me, maybe I will have the flavor you want in my warehouse!"
The vendor looked around cautiously, pushed the stall to a van parked on the roadside, put the stall into the van, turned back to Robin Hood and said: "Get in the van!"
Robin Hood opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.
It turns out that this hawker is not an ordinary hawker at all, but an informant of the Hong Kong Branch of the National Security Bureau, an investigator who is responsible for collecting and gathering all kinds of intelligence.
He was not selling cup noodles there, but was ordered to wait for Robin Hood at the station.
The conversation they just had about "the taste of sauerkraut and beef" was actually a code word.
After confirming Robin Hood's identity, the investigators let Robin Hood get into the van.
"Hello, Robin Hood!" Robin Hood held out a hand.
The hawker shook hands with him: "Just call me A Kuan!"
The van traveled through the bustling urban area, taking Robin Hood to Tsim Sha Tsui in twists and turns, and parked on the roadside of Victoria Harbour.
Akuan pointed to a super luxurious hotel across the road and said: "This is the Peninsula Hotel where the chairman stays. He lives in the presidential suite on the 20th floor of the hotel!"
As Kuan spoke, he took out a laptop from behind his seat, tapped it a few times, and handed it to Robin Hood.
Robin Hood took the computer, and a detailed introduction to the Peninsula Hotel was displayed on the screen.
The Peninsula Hotel is the oldest existing hotel in Hong Kong and one of the most famous and luxurious hotels in Hong Kong and even the world.
The hotel is H-shaped, with an overall retro style and exquisite oriental charm.
And facing the beautiful Victoria Harbor, mid- and high-rise buildings can enjoy magnificent sea views.
The hotel has been selected as one of the top ten well-known hotels in the world. International celebrities including former US President Richard Nixon, NBA star Jordan, and Queen Elizabeth II have all designated to stay at The Peninsula Hotel.
At the same time, the hotel is also known as the "Movie Teahouse" because many movie stars love to have afternoon tea at the Peninsula. Especially in the 1980s, Hong Kong stars such as Leslie Cheung, Maggie Cheung, Chung Chu-hong and so on.
A frequent visitor to the hotel.
Moreover, the Peninsula Hotel has many restaurants and bars, bringing together delicacies from all over the world.
For example, it has the best French restaurants in Asia, as well as Swiss cuisine, Pacific Coast cuisine, etc.
At the same time, the Peninsula Hotel also has a Roman-style indoor swimming pool, sauna, gym, steam bath, business center and other leisure and entertainment facilities.
Akuan pointed to the large parking lot in front of the hotel and said to Robin Hood: "Did you see that row of Rolls-Royce Phantoms? That is the Peninsula Hotel's Rolls-Royce luxury fleet, specially used to pick up and drop off important VIPs. It is also the world's largest fleet of Rolls-Royce Phantoms."
The most luxurious and powerful Rolls-Royce lineup!”
Under the brilliant lights, the rows of Rolls-Royce glowed with a charming silver luster, which was simply majestic to the extreme.
“This is the architectural perspective of the hotel!”
Kuan clicked the Enter key, and the screen rotated. The Peninsula Hotel in the photo had all faded away from the beautiful colors outside, and turned into a three-dimensional architectural figure with only crisscrossing lines.
The three-dimensional architectural figure slowly rotated 360 degrees on the screen.
A Kuan pointed at the screen and said: "The presidential suite where the chairman stays is at the end of the left side of the twentieth floor. It is a super luxurious viewing suite with a private elevator. You can take the indoor elevator directly to the heliport on the top of the building. The room is surrounded by bulletproof
It is said that the most dreamy thing about the floor-to-ceiling window structure is that you can soak in the steam bath while enjoying the beautiful sea view of Victoria Harbor through the large floor-to-ceiling windows!”
"It's indeed good!" Robin Hood said with a smile: "But I want to know more about the defense situation around the chairman!"
Akuan said: "This time, the chairman is accompanied by eight extraordinary bodyguards from Zhongnanhai, known as the 'Eight King Kong'. Two of them are responsible for guarding the hotel door and monitoring all people entering and exiting. There are also two more who are responsible for guarding the roof of the building.
Heliport security on the rooftop. The remaining four kings are responsible for patrolling and security inside the twenty-story corridor, and the officials accompanying the chairman all live on the twentieth floor!"
After a pause, Akuan continued: "In addition to the personal bodyguards beside the chairman, there is also an accompanying team of special agents. They disguise themselves as various personnel and lurk near the hotel to conduct comprehensive surveillance of the hotel 24 hours a day.
Guarantee the personal safety of the chairman. Maybe the security guard at the hotel entrance is an agent, maybe the parking guy is also an agent, maybe the woman who greets guests with a smile at the door is also an agent!"
"What about Hong Kong?" Robin Hood asked, smoking a cigarette.
Ah Kuan said: "Hong Kong has dispatched an elite Flying Tiger Squadron to be on standby to avoid various emergencies. In addition, there are two mobile units patrolling the streets near Tsim Sha Tsui day and night to check for all suspicious persons and vehicles.
Responsible for the chairman’s personal safety!”
As soon as Kuan finished speaking, two Hong Kong patrol officers from the mobile unit came outside the van, and one of them knocked on the window.
A Kuan rolled down the window: "Sir, is something okay?"
The patrolman saluted politely: "Excuse me, please give me your ID card!"
A Kuan opened his hand to Robin Hood and motioned for him to take out his ID card.
The patrol officer took the ID card and looked at it: "Oh? From the mainland? What are you doing in Hong Kong?"
Robin Hood shook the ashes from his cigarette and handed over the pass: "I came here as a tourist and made a special trip to see Victoria Harbor. It really lives up to its reputation and is very beautiful!"
A Kuan smiled: "Sir, is it okay?"
The two patrol officers handed their ID cards back to Kuan and Robin Hood, saluted, and continued patrolling forward.
Ah Kuan said: "I'm not lying to you. Tsim Sha Tsui is heavily guarded these days. Have you thought of any good ideas?"
"No!" Robin Hood shook his head: "I'm hungry. Is there boiling water in the car? Let's make a bowl of Cup Noodles!"
Ah Kuan said with a smile: "Let me tell you first, I don't have the taste of pickled beef and sauerkraut!"
Robin Hood said: "Seafood flavor is fine too!"
The two of them each made a bowl of cup noodles and sat on the stone steps by the seaside, enjoying the sea breeze and enjoying the charming night view of Victoria Harbour.
"Victoria Harbor" was named by the British in memory of Queen Victoria. It is the first seaport in Asia and the third largest seaport in the world, second only to San Francisco in the United States and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Victoria Harbor has wide water, charming scenery, and the port's
In the northwest, there is the "Kwai Chung Container Terminal", one of the world's largest container transportation centers. Every sunrise and sunset, busy ferry boats shuttle between the north and south shores, fishing boats, cruise ships, sightseeing ships, 10,000-ton giant ships and their chirping
The sound of the whistle creates a wonderful scene of bustling sea life.
The coastline of Victoria Harbor is very long, and there are countless scenic spots on both sides of the north and south sides. On one side of Hong Kong Island, there are modern high-rise buildings and the landmark Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition New Wing, as well as the nostalgic Star Ferry Pier.
During the day, the sky is blue, white clouds are clear, and small boats and giant ships of 10,000 tons enter and leave the harbor without interfering with each other. At night, the lights are even brighter, creating a magnificent night view of the "Pearl of the Orient." Those colorful lights are reflected on the sea, making them colorful and refracted.
A wonderful phantom appears, as beautiful as a fairyland on earth.
