The Unforgettable Hong Kong
The plane arcs softly into its final
descent at Hong Kong International Airport. Below,
Victoria Harbour,
and the silent
rhythms of countless ships. Beyond, sloping
mountains fence in a breathtaking city view that
seems to stretch forever. (
飞机的柔和的弧线最终降落到了香港国际机场。
下方是维多利亚港，
无数的船只演奏着无
声的旋律。远处，环绕着山体斜坡令人叹为观止的城市景色仿
佛一直延伸到无际无边。
