About Hong Kong
Compared to Israel and its 9.2 million people, there are about 7.6 million people living in Hong Kong. You can fit Hong Kong 19 times into the size of Israel, which is only about the size of Wales.
On 1 July 1997, the UK returned the sovereignty of Hong Kong to the People’s Republic of China. The rule of law is determined by the catch-phrase “One country, two systems”.
Without doubt, Hong Kong is the commercial hub of the region. Choose your yardstick: the size of its stock market, the combined tonnage of the ports in the area, the number of financial powerhouses in the territory, the enormity of the shopping malls, many hosting luxury international brands – Hong Kong dominates its neighbours.
Hong Kong is a vibrant city. It is not just tourists who eat out, but also the locals. They boast top sports facilities, hosting international events. The train and tram system ensure that it is easy to get around, and English is a common language. You are made to feel very welcome.
