Hong Kong: Asia's World City
Hong Kong is a major worldwide economic and financial hub. Located in the heart of Asia and close to China, one of the world’s fastest expanding areas, Hong Kong is a cosmopolitan metropolis offering worldwide connection, security and cultural variety. The city is home to an international community and more than 8,200 multinational corporations. It has one of the world's most modern business infrastructures and is the freest economy for the 24th consecutive year.
The city's metropolitan landscape is well-known, but the juxtaposition between Chinese legacy and European colonial history, the bustling arts and cultural scene, the UNESCO-listed geopark, and the picturesque countryside are all noteworthy. The countryside accounts for roughly three-quarters of Hong Kong's total area of 1,108 sqm.
