Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China located on the southern coast of the country. It is known for its vibrant skyline, bustling harbor, and deep cultural heritage. The region has a unique blend of Eastern and Western influences, evident in its architecture, cuisine, and traditions.
With a population of over 7 million people, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. The city offers a high standard of living and is a major global financial hub, attracting expatriates and tourists alike. Major attractions include Victoria Peak, the Star Ferry, and numerous shopping districts.
The region also has a rich history, having been a British colony from the mid-19th century until its return to Chinese sovereignty in 1997. Today, Hong Kong maintains a separate legal and economic system from mainland China under the principle of 'one country, two systems,' allowing it a degree of autonomy.
