Sets of traditional Chinese garments are also seen hanging on the clothes rack.
Lee, an American with blonde hair and a pair of blue eyes, prefers not to be called a "foreigner." For her, Hong Kong is home.
"I've been living in Hong Kong for almost 11 years, and my husband is also a Hong Kong native. I usually speak Cantonese," Lee said.
Back in 2006, Lee arrived in Hong Kong after resigning from a university in the United States, knowing nothing about the local language and not a single
person here. But she quickly got used to life in Hong Kong, and became familiar
with the local communities.
For Lee, Hong Kong people are friendly, courteous, and family-oriented, similar to those in her hometown of Virginia.
After travelling back and forth between Hong Kong and her hometown for a few years, Lee realized that it was time to settle down. "I felt I've been obsessed
of Hong Kong and couldn't leave her anymore," she said.
Lee's wedding was held in Hong Kong in 2014. Her wedding dress was a traditional Chinese one decorated with dragons and phoenixes.
For Lee, Hong Kong, which celebrates the 20th anniversary of its return to the motherland this year, has become even more diversified and internationalized
over the past 11 years.
"I love Hong Kong, and I hope it will become more impeccable in the future," she said.
Like Lee, Swathi Kr Iyengar, from India, also regards himself a Hong Kong local. For Swathi, the place is a stage for making dreams come true.
Swathi arrived in Hong Kong about 25 years ago with 800 U.S. dollars in his pocket. He has had three part-time jobs and curled up with people from different
countries in a tiny and crude apartment.
As Swathi's put it, life in the past 25 years has been arduous but full of hope. Now his family is living in an upscale community, and his two sons are
attending a renowned school. The children also won prizes in local Chinese
language contests. "Chinese is an important language in the world today," said
Swathi.
Swathi regards Hong Kong as one of the safest places in the world with excellent business atmosphere, efficient social system, well-equipped
infrastructure and convenient working conditions.
For Jose, a Mexican, three years is long enough for him to fall in love with Hong Kong.
Jose was assigned to work in Hong Kong in 2014. "I've got lost in the surrounding skyscrapers," he recalled his first day here.
But he soon fell in love with Hong Kong. Now, he enjoys getting up early for a morning run, exploring nice restaurants with his friends, watching horse
races, hiking and cycling in suburb areas.
For Jose, life in Hong Kong is fascinating. One can easily travel from urban areas to the mountains and seas to enjoy breezes and fresh air, he said.
Moreover, Jose regards Hong Kong a desirable place for foreigners. "No matter which lifestyles you prefer, Chinese or Western, you can find whatever you want"
in Hong Kong, he said.

BEIJING, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping said Saturday that history and people will remember Fidel Castro, calling the Cuban revolutionary
leader "a great figure of our times."
Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, made the remarks in a message of condolences to Raul Castro, first
secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba, president of
the Council of State and the Council of Ministers of Cuba, after Fidel Castro
died late Friday at the age of 90.
"In the name of the CPC, the Chinese government and people, and in my own name, I express my deepest condolences on the death of Comrade Fidel Castro and
sincerest sympathy to his family," Xi said.
Fidel Castro, founder of the Communist Party of Cuba and Cuba's socialist cause, was a great leader of the Cuban people, Xi said, adding that he has made
immortal historic contributions and devoted all his life to the Cuban people's
great cause of struggling for national liberation, safeguarding state
sovereignty and building socialism.
The late Cuban leader has also made immortal historic contributions to the world socialist development, Xi added.
Fidel Castro also dedicated his life to the friendship between China and Cuba, Xi said.
Xi added that the China-Cuba relationship has enjoyed great development since the two countries forged diplomatic ties 56 years ago thanks to Fidel Castro's
solicitude and painstaking efforts.
"The death of Fidel Castro has made the Chinese people lose a close comrade and sincere friend. His glorious image and great achievements will go down in
history," Xi said.
"The great Comrade Fidel Castro will be forever remembered," said the Chinese president.
