Fragrant Harbor

The Chinese name for "Hong Kong" directly translated actually means "fragrant harbor". It probably got it's name from a time when HK was merely a small fishing harbor where they produced incense which is burned as part of worship. Eventually they exported this incense throughout the world. Fun Fact: sandalwood use in Chinese incense today is imported largely from Australia. You cannot go through a single day without smelling incense in HK. It is everywhere, from the altars in restaurants to the altars in front of homes and stores. It's difficult to take pictures at Temples that aren't foggy from smoke:

Incense sticks come in all sizes: rocket shaped, short, tall, thicker spirals (which burn for 2 weeks).
