This arrangement allows Hong Kong to enjoy a high degree of autonomy, retaining its capitalist system, independent judiciary and rule of law, free trade and freedom of speech.

Nice Beach i never seen before.
Stanley Main Beach is a wonderful place in Hong-Kong, the sand here is very soft and the sea here is quite blue, when it`s get hot, many people will come here to enjoy the sun bath or surfing here, some people will play beach volleyball here.
And when it`s sunset, the beach become even more nicer when than daytime, and people leaving, the sea become really quiet, you can feel like only you and the sea here, i like that.
