    HONG KONG, July 7 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping visited two Hong Kong households Monday during his three-day inspection tour in the city.

    Accompanied by Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang, Xi first visited the Wong family in Royal Peninsula, Hung Hom.

    Thirty-four-year-old Wong Chi-yung, who was born and brought up in Hong Kong, works in an information technology company, while his wife is a clerical officer at a hospital. They have a five-year-old son.

    During his stay at Wong's home, the vice president chatted about the daily life, family expenses, property price and work situation with the family members who had a very nice impression on Xi.

    "He's approachable and charismatic," Wong told the reporter with excitement after the visit.

    Before leaving, Xi presented the Wong's with an Olympic souvenir display and a tea-set. The family in return presented a drawing that depicted the official mascots of the Beijing Olympic Games -- Fuwa, wishing for a successful Games.

    Xi said he was happy to have seen the Wong's are living happily and he believed that Hong Kong will become more prosperous as the motherland is becoming stronger and more powerful.

    After leaving from the Wong family, Xi went to see an elderly couple at Ho Man Tin.

    Yu Do-sing and his wife, both in their seventies, have retired and are living in a Home Ownership Scheme flat in Kwun Hei Court, Ho Man Tin.

    The eldest of the couple's six children Yu Chi-hung frequently visits his parents with his wife and their four-year-old daughter. They were also there on Monday to welcome Xi.

    Xi gave warm greetings and regards to the elderly upon arrival. And Yu shared his family photos with Xi who presented an Olympic souvenir, a tea-set and a laptop computer to the Yu's before departure.

    Xi arrived in Hong Kong on July 6 and has inspected the equestrian events venues for the 2008 Beijing Olympics and Paralympics.
