As the 27th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland approaches, the atmosphere of celebration on the streets of Hong Kong is becoming stronger and stronger. Over the past few days, various districts in Hong Kong have been renovated.
The streets of Tsim Sha Tsui and Wan Chai are full of "Chinese red", and the national and regional flags are hung high above people's heads, forming a red and festive "corridor".

Outside the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government Headquarters building, a huge poster that is as wide as the building reads, "Celebrating the 27th Anniversary of the Establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region." The four corners of the poster are purple, reminiscent of the blue-purple night sky of Victoria Harbour, with fireworks blooming gorgeously in the night sky.
Banners and posters like this can be seen everywhere in various districts of Hong Kong, conveying the joy of the approaching 27th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland.
