"Through Kelvin's lens, you will be able to see the beauty and contrasting diversity of Hong Kong.

     She moved on to introduce the theme of this year's celebration for Hong Kong's return to motherland . "'A New Era - Stability • Prosperity • Opportunity' and it represents Hong Kong's achievements over the past 25 years, and underscores our anticipation for and confidence in a brighter future," Ms Mo said.
