Neon signage welcomes you on every corner. Safe and well-organized, Hong Kong is known for its thrilling wharf landscapes, beautiful sun rise views from the remote mountain peaks, five-star hotel lobbies for afternoon tea, and world-class party zones.
Hong Kong is one the most densely populated area in the world and innumerable architectural masterpieces have been constructed in the past few years.
