Hong Kong – Asia’s World City
Hong Kong is the Special Administrative Region of People’s Republic of China, situated on China’s southeast coast. With a land mass of 1,104 square kilometers and a population of over seven million people, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated city in the world. Hong Kong comprises three main parts - Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Peninsula and New Territories. (Maps of Hong Kong)
Hong Kong has transformed from a small fishing village to a global metropolis. As the Asia’s world city, Hong Kong has an excellent reputation for being a business-friendly financial center, a melting pot where East meets West, a shoppers’ paradise with NO sales tax and a world’s fair of food where dim sum, hot pot restaurants coexist with haute cuisine.
