Hong Kong Planet 2

Hong Kong is an incredible city to explore. Comprised of dozens of mountainous islands, and owing to its lack of flat, developable land and high population it has become a spectacular sight, a contrast of modern unique architecture, set against hilly forested terrain. It is one of the most densely populated places on Earth and is the city with the most skyscrapers on Earth, with over five hundred. It is always an engaging experience to spend the day on foot exploring the winding pathways and dense urban maze of the city, taking in the mix of older style colonial architecture, the southern Chinese Lingnan architecture, as well as the ultra-modern high rises.

Across the top the iconic Skyline of Hong Kong Island, and below the skyline along Kowloon Peninsula can be seen.
