HONG KONG > Special Administrative Region : China<br />

Metro Population: 7 million<br />

As one of <strong>the</strong> most dense<br />

urban areas in <strong>the</strong> world, Hong<br />

Kong is actually a cluster of<br />

islands and peninsulas on China’s<br />

south coast. Until 1997, Hong<br />

Kong existed as a colony of <strong>the</strong> British<br />

Empire, and still operates with a Western flare and a<br />

high degree of autonomy from m<strong>ai</strong>nland China as a Special<br />

Administrative Region. Widely heralded as having <strong>the</strong> most<br />

magnificent skyline in <strong>the</strong> world, Hong Kong’s distinctively lit<br />

skyscrapers put on a (slightly underwhelming) orchestrated light<br />

show every evening at 8pm. Nestled between mount<strong>ai</strong>nous terr<strong>ai</strong>n<br />

on one side and Victoria Harbour on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r, this city is truly one of<br />

<strong>the</strong> most spectacular places on earth.<br />
