As HK express named the city specialite foods on their aircraft, I hope they will name "Champon" on their new aircraft.

Nagasaki is located in the West part of Kyushu island. This area was one of the most international communication hub through the last five hundred years. Chinese, Korean, European and Asian people visited the Kyushu to have some trading business, missionary of Catholicism or some pirate activities. 
On 1542 AD, the matchlock gun were brought by Portuguese boat. Francisco Xavier has come to Japan for the missionary on 1549 AD. After Xavier, Spain, Holland and England have followed to visiting Japan with their colonialism. For half century, Catholic church have missionary around Japan. There were also some diplomatic connections to the governors as Nobunaga Oda or Hideyoshi Toyotomi. After twenty six martyrs, Japanese government prohibited the religion of Christian. The hidden Christian was formed the rural area of Nagasaki prefecture area. On 2018, UNESCO assigned the heritage of Christian history in Nagasaki as the World Heritage sites, Hidden Christian Site in Nagasaki lesion. All sites were spread around rural areas of Nagasaki and Kumamoto area.
