History

Hong Kong began as a coastal island geographically located off the southern coast of China. While pockets of settlements had taken place in the region with archaeological findings dating back thousands of years, regular written records were not made until the engagement of Imperial China and the British Colony in the territory. Starting out as a fishing village, salt production site and trading ground, it later evolved into a military port of strategic importance and eventually an international financial centre that has the world's 6th highest GDP (PPP) per capita, supporting 33% of the foreign capital flows into China.

Since 1950s, Hong Kong is under the British control, as many foreign firms relocated their offices from Shanghai to Hong Kong, many industrial development and manufacturing are common in Hong Kong. Under this development, Hong Kong cannot earn too many money, they preferred to have cheaper lifestyle. Meanwhile, many people with capital became the boss of their business and derived the time-honored brand in the future, such as Lan Fong Yuen, Lee Kung Man, China Cafe and Analog photograhy studio.
