Hong Kong and China. Separate, but so together.
Mao Zedong stood at Tiananmen Square and declared the founding of the People’s Republic of China 59 years ago. Today, I celebrated Chinese National Day in Hong Kong — a Special Autonomous Region of China that at one point, symbolized the country’s humiliation and defeat by foreign powers.
And how do they show their pride and patriotism here? Fireworks, of course.
My cousins, Aunt Betty and I took the Star Ferry boat across Victoria Harbour, from Tsim Sha Tsui to Central. There were crowds of people everywhere, so we decided to take a seat at a restaurant in IFC Mall that gave us a great view too.
Canteen’s fireworks set dinner was delicious, as my Aunt Betty shows above.
