If you go to Hong Kong by air, you will arrive at Hong Kong International Airport. Because there was not enough land, it was built out into the sea. It is in the part of Hong Kong called Kowloon. Kowloon is one of the two big cities in Hong Kong.
The other city is Hong Kong itself. It is on an island. You can get there by ship or through a tunnel under the sea. Much of Hong Kong is farmland and mountains.
The population of Hong Kong is over seven million. Many people there speak Chinese and English. Clothes, computers, radios and TVs are made in Hong Kong. You can buy all kinds of things, such as watches and computers.
Lots of people from all over the world travel to Hong Kong every year. You can watch dog- racing or motor-racing. Some places are quiet and beautiful.

How to do | 1. Heat the honey bottle in microwave for 30 seconds. Honey will become almost as thin as water.
| 2. Slowly squeeze a thin stream of honey into jar, gently( 轻轻地) move bottle as you squeeze it.
| 3. After adding a bit of honey, put lid on jar and slowly turn it upside down.

What happens? | For a few seconds, streams of honey fall through the water, making curves( 曲线) and even rings. You can sometimes see more beautiful shapes by gently turning the bottle over. The US International Space Station members did this experiment. Since there is almost no gravity(重力), their honey streams lasted much longer than yours. | ||
