Kowloon, Hong Kong, China is located in the northern part of Hong Kong Island, across Victoria Harbor from Hong Kong Island, and is one of the three major districts in Hong Kong. Since the opening of the port in 1842, Kowloon has blended Chinese and Western cultures, both the modern prosperity of Tsim Sha Tsui, but also Mong Kok, Yaumatei, the authentic city atmosphere. It is home to landmarks such as the Avenue of Stars and the Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower, the urban flavor of the Temple Street Night Market, the shopping paradise of Canton Road, and the Hong Kong-style cuisine of Hong Kong style cafes, all of which together make up the unique cityscape. As one of the commercial, tourism and cultural centers of Hong Kong, Kowloon carries the diverse genes of Hong Kong, epitomizing the vibrancy of a cosmopolitan city and a must-visit place to experience Hong Kong's local culture.
Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.
