The most visited city in the world – Hong Kong, frequently described as a place where “East meets West”. It’s known for its impressive skyline, high urban density and delicious cuisine. Hong Kong is a specially administered territory in southern China. Following British colonial rule from 1841 to 1997, China assumed sovereignty under the ‘one country, two systems’ principle. What that means is that HK it’s officially a part of China; however, it’s allowed to operate as an autonomous country. It has its own economy, currency, immigration and legal system and gets very little interference from the Central Government. It’s a busy, vibrant, chaotic and exciting city. A place which tries to balance the modern way of life with ancient Chinese traditions.
