Hong Kong

Global financial hub and one of the world's most visited cities, Hong Kong packs an exceptional restaurant and café scene, a dense skyline of skyscrapers, and a working harbour into a territory that also contains forested mountains and rural country parks. A special administrative region of China since 1997, it retains distinct legal and economic systems from the mainland. British colonial influence, dating from 1841, remains visible alongside Cantonese culture and layers of influence from across Asia and beyond.
