Hong Kong

   Hong Kong is a unique blend of Eastern and Western traditions, a modern metropolis, but also one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world. The city is impressive, with its modern architecture and unique design. Skyscrapers in Hong Kong have been built as a result of China's impressive combination of size and economic independence of Hong Kong. In 2009, The Heritage Foundation Index, which classifies the cities with the most free economy in the world, has ranked this metropolis first. Among the highest towers in the city include the famous Two International Finance Centre Bank of China building.

   One of the most troubled neighborhoods is Mong Kok, where every street is specialized in a particular product. Tourists who want to escape the city, not lack of quiet places: over 60% of Hong Kong is reserved for parks, nature reserves and beaches. Although the main attraction is shopping, nightlife, Hong Kong offers excellent restaurants, first class hotels, but also natural beauty: mountains, islands withdrawn, white beaches.

   In Hong Kong, Chinese New Year festival is dedicated to one full of light: the streets are decorated with flowers and lampioane and the procession of floats are surrounded by musicians and dancers in colorful costumes, the lions and dragons in brocade.
