A Dazzling New Place
Harrow International School Hong Kong, Hu, Catherine - 11
Soaring skyscrapers reaching for the sky,
Bustling streets and lively chatter,
This stunning place, unique and new,
A brand new life, a fresh, clean start,
The Greater Bay Area, an adventure for you.
As busy as a beaver, the GBA thrives,
A breathing creature, it is alive,
Jam-packed streets, even at night,
Glass curtained buildings,
Flashing in the sunlight.
Cutting edge technology,
Cars, hovering in the sky,
Now blind people can see the wonders of this world,
A new era has begun, a megacity emerged,
A giant has awoken, from sleep, it has stirred.
Hong Kong, Macau and Guangdong,
Now live together as a whole.
Diverse types of people,
Young and old, rich and poor,
Here, everyone is equal.
People running everywhere, noise drifting through the air.
The posh businessmen rushing off to work,
The young children, laughing and clapping,
The students, chatting and trudging to school,
The dogs and cats, meowing and yapping,
At night it lights up like a Christmas tree,
Flashing in the darkness, glaring lights.
Glittering, glowing like a million stars.
A field of luminescence as far as the eye can see.
A dazzling miracle when seen from afar.
Soaring skyscrapers reaching for the sky,
Bustling streets and lively chatter,
A marvellous community, a brand new place.
What are you waiting for?
An adventure awaits!
