Hong Kong (Hong Kong Special Administrative Region) is an administrative region with special status in China since 1997, after being a British colony since 1841. Hong Kong is located along the coast of the South China Sea and is formed by the Kowloon peninsula and some hundreds of islands and islets. The city is now one of the most important industrial, commercial and banking centers of the Far East. 
 

Hong Kong is the financial and commercial capital of Asia, as well as a base for the largest multinationals, with an amazing city full of skyscrapers, opposed to the myriad of traditional markets, where there is no object that can not find. Hong Kong is the biggest trading port in the world, but also retains the most traditional restaurants, with the adjoining fish market to choose live fish and consume it. The city has a modern underground and areas to visit in the rickshaw. From the Peak Tower, which is achieved with a railway, you can enjoy the magnificent view of the skyscrapers that crowd one of the most beautiful bays in the world. Nathan Road surprised with miles of shops of all kinds, but especially jewelers, who form the biggest market for the precious Asia.
