One admirable aspect of Hong Kong’s Olympic medallists is their incredible resilience and dedication.
Despite being a small region with fewer resources, these athletes train harder than someone trying to find a parking spot in Central! They consistently showcase exceptional determination, proving that you don’t need a giant training facility to go for gold – just a lot of grit and 7.4 million people cheering you on.
These athletes have consistently demonstrated talent and dedication to excel on the world stage.

Can you guess what my favourite place in Hong Kong is? I’m sure it is everyone’s favourite – Hong Kong Disneyland.
The stunning theme park has a merry-go-round, a remote control car arcade and even an animation art gallery. These rides usually require about 15 minutes of queuing. The main building, the dream castle, is my favourite part of Disneyland. There is an interesting museum of the construction process of the castle in its interior.
Hong Kong Disneyland is full of fun, music, magic and fantasy. I love every corner of this amusement park.

I have a dog named QBB. He is brown, and he loves to run around the garden. He is a boy, and he acts like my elder brother. He has short legs and a very long tail. He loves eating and can finish every item of food we give him in a second.
I have another dog named QQB; I treat her as my younger sister. In contrast with QBB, she has long legs and is not as greedy as him.
QBB is already twelve years old, while my sister QQB is nine. I’m grateful because we play happily together.
