Hong Kong (香港), whose name means "fragrant harbour" in Cantonese, is a place with multiple personalities as a result of being both Cantonese Chinese and under a more recent contemporary ex-British influence. Modern Hong Kong is an important hub in East Asia with global connections to many of the world's cities, including Chicago. It is a unique destination that has absorbed people and cultural influences from places as diverse as Vietnam and California and proudly proclaims itself to be Asia's World City.
