It's often considered as a city, a special administrative region and sometimes as a country owing to its unique characteristics vis-à-vis the Chinese mainland. Hong Kong has more skyscrapers than any other city in the world and you'll quickly want to get the best view of Victoria Harbour where the central business district is located. Take a ride on the Star Ferry for a trip around the harbour itself or jump on the Peak Tram for a view the summit of Victoria Peak. And on the ground, check out the amazing street food, open markets and trendy bars in the Lan Kwai Fong district. An opportunity to break from the hustle and bustle is easily accessible at Hong Kong Park. Buddha is omnipresent in Hong Kong, boasting one of the largest statues, Tian Tian Buddha, as well as a collection of now over 12,000 Buddhas at Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery. High-adrenalin dominates in the city as well as at two enormous theme parks; Ocean Park and Hong Kong Disneyland. While it might often seem like a glimpse into the future, a visit to the Tai O Fishing Village will take you back to the past, as for most of its history, Hong Kong was know for little than fishing and the trade of spices.
