Hong Kong a stunning place you should not miss

Formerly a British Colony and now a Special Administrative Unit of China, Hong Kong is a small peninsula and more than 230 islands under its control. It is one of the great financial centres of the world. It has aptly been described as a meeting point of the East and West and accordingly a strong cosmopolitan culture pervades the entire city.

The very landscape of Hong Kong with great skyscrapers and, a natural harbour and great sea, hundreds of islands littered around the place like gems, the stunning mixture of nature’s beauty and man-made structures of aesthetic values is awe-inspiring and profound in its appeal to laymen and experts alike!

Going to The Peak by Cable car itself is a great experience as 1200 ft. height place is reached in great speed where all the tall buildings on all the sides leave you gaping with astonishment!
