Hong Kong Skyscrappers at Night

Having co-hosted the Olympic equestrian events last months, Hong Kong is on a high. There’s never been a better time to visit the bright lights, big city of Hong Kong and experience all that the amazing territory has to offer.

Consisting primarily of Hong Kong Island, Lantou Island, Kowloon Peninsula, and the New Territories, Hong Kong is also home to some 260 smaller islands. Aside from its large archipelago, Hong Kong is    also famed for its large architectural ambitions: it currently has the world’s greatest number of skyscrapers, some 6,382 in total.

Given population pressures, the city has more people living or working above the 14th floor than any other on earth, making it the most vertical city in the world. Needless to say, it also has one of the most awesome skylines in the world, and architectural wonders abound at every turn. Impressive structures of note include I.M. Pei’s Bank of China Tower, Hong Kong International Airport, and Tsing Ma (one of the world’s largest suspension bridges), among many others.
