Glitter-hard edge
Hi.
"There is a seaside feel to this Chinese border town - its glitter-hard edge softened by the passage of river boats and wedding couples posing for photographs." [From the BBC website.]
What is the glitter-hard edge? I've found somewhere in the Internet that it collocates with bling bling but somehow couldn't figure out what's that.
Thank you.
