Hong Kong – Go up and beyond in the most vertical city in the world!
Did you know that Hong Kong or how the name translates, „The Fragrant Harbour” houses more than 1200 skyscrapers? Due to the limited land area, Hongkongers built up and beyond: Most people in the territory live and/or work above the 14th floor as it has more buildings taller than 150 meters (or 500 feet) than any other city in the world.
This East Asian autonomous territory has an exceptional movie industry, with world famous actors and directors such as Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Jet Li, Michelle Yeoh or Wong Kar-wai. The Avenue of Stars in Hong Kong, similarly to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, commemorates the best entertainers, while the famous Big Buddha (Tian Tan Buddha) towers over the avenue on Lantau Island.
Visitors are particularly curious about the Ocean Park Hong Kong, a marine mammal park, theme park and oceanarium, where one can get a fair share of fun after visiting sights such as the Tsing Ma Bridge, the now 9th longest span suspension bridge in the world (it was the 2nd longest when it was built in 1997) or the Wong Tai Sin Temple.
