Hong Kong is a unique combination of modernity and rationality with the romance of old times. High skyscrapers, luxury villas, mountainous landscapes and prodigiously long beaches are easily harmonized.
In just one hundred and fifty years Hong Kong has passed the way from a small fisherman's village to the huge resort and business center.
Name of Hong Kong is built from two Chinese words "Heung" and "Kong", which are translated as "aromatic harbor" - this is how the fisherman's settlement near Aberdeen was originally named.
The city is located on the southeast coast of China. The area of Hong Kong is 1100 square km. Hong Kong has strange territorial division - many city areas are populated rather densely, the whole residence in the territory is some seven million people, but despite that, seventy per cent of the territory is almost empty and protected as national parks.
You should certainly visit such sights as the "Marine Park" and "Center state". The first is one of the largest marine parks in the world, occupies the area of about 10 square kilometers. The shows with sharks, sea lions and pink dolphins are always held there. The "Center state" is a gift for people who are interested in history. The life of China 5000 years ago is recreated here.
Ancient buildings, costumed and exact following the customs and orders of that time will create the illusion of travelling in time.
