All that and Dim Sum
The tourists first arrived at the pinnacle of
Victoria Peak. Anne Mai and Henry were spellbound
by the panorama of emerald cliffs, sapphire waters,
and rainbow sky-risers that spread beneath their
feet. Walsh and Peter snapped photos as fast as
their little fingers would allow. Soon Henry’s parents
caught up to the children and began telling them
about the rich history of the area.
“This was once a storm shelter,” Mr. Lee
explained, waving his fingers around like a wand.
“Now it’s used to celebrate the city’s major festivals,
including flowers in the summer, and especially the
upcoming Chinese New Year.”
“Oh yes,” Mrs. Lee agreed holding her
husband’s hand reminiscently. “See. Look there,”
she said pointing at a caravan of people, tents, and
banners across the way. Hundreds of firework
stanchions were being raised, colorful dancers
practiced drills, and countless costume dragons lay
deflated on the grass. “I promise the Chinese New
Year in Hong Kong is an event none of you will ever
forget,” Mrs. Lee boldly promised.
“Yes. I’m sure it will be,” Mr. Lee agreed,
examining his brother’s three peaks looming in the
distance.
At noon, the Lees and their two young
traveling companions visited some of Hong Kong’s
more posh shopping venues. However, Henry,
Walsh, and Peter did not find trolling for clothes and
tourist treasure nearly as entertaining as Anne Mai
and her mother. In fact, it was all rather boring to
them until they stumbled upon King Chow, a
children’s tailor that specialized in garish Chinese
fashions. The three boys hustled inside.
