What “Fan Gaau La, Sai Lou Jai” Means
Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour, framed by one of the world’s most famous skylines, is the heart of the city, while Cantonese, distinct from Mandarin, remains the everyday voice of most Hong Kongers. This original lullaby, in Cantonese, borrows that same glittering, harbour-side calm.
