This is the banknote which valued one thousand Hong Kong dollars. There is the
figure of Lee Siu-lung (which means “little dragon”), since dragon is the traditional
mascot of our motherland. Another reason is that Hong Kong is regarded as one of the
“Four Little Asian Dragons”. Also, Lee Siu-lung, a world-known martial arts teacher
and film star, has played an important role in the development of Hong Kong
screenland in 1960s to 1970s. There is Tsing Ma Bridge, the world's longest
suspension bridge carrying road and rail traffic. All the tourists that come to Hong Kong In
air must pass along the Tsing Ma Bridge by different kinds of transportation. It is considered as
the Hong Kong’s proud landmark. Moreover, there are some Chinese ancient words. They are
here to show the close relationship between Hong Kong and its motherland, China.
On the back side, the whole view of Victoria Harbor form Hong Kong Island to Kowloon is
chosen because Hong Kong is famous for its marvelous stunning harbor view. Tourists all over
