5 reasons to visit Hong Kong🇭🇰

Hong Kong is a true wonder of the world. This unique city-state, which ranks first in the world for skyscrapers, is built entirely according to feng shui principles. Hong Kong is considered the meeting point between East and West. And now I'll tell you why it should definitely be on your "must visit" list. 📌A Combination of Asian and European Cultures If you're accustomed to Western comforts but also interested in Asian culture and exoticism, then welcome. Hong Kong combines the sophistication of England, with its double-decker trams and classical architecture, a touch of American flair, with its stunning skyscrapers, and the icing on the cake, Chinese and Buddhist monasteries and temples. This contrast is explained by the fact that Hong Kong was formerly part of the United Kingdom until 1997, but later became a special administrative center of China. 📌Easy Communication Hong Kong has two official languages: Chinese (residents speak Cantonese) and English. All signs and street names are translated into English. Therefore, you won't experience any discomfort if you need to explain something at the airport, in a restaurant, or even to a taxi driver. 📌Visa-Free Travel Unlike the rest of China, Hong Kong is somewhat more lenient towards visitors and allows visa-free stays of up to 14 days for citizens of most European and American countries. All you need to do is buy a plane ticket and wait for your departure date. 📌Hong Kong boasts a sea and incredibly beautiful beaches. So, if you enjoy a beach holiday, you can easily combine both during your trip. 📌People and Atmosphere Many compare Hong Kong to New York, and those who have visited both cities prefer Hong Kong. And now I understand why, because the people here are very responsive and friendly. It's amazing how reverently they treat the cultural heritage of their colonizers. All buildings, including Catholic churches, that have no connection to the Chinese religion are revered equally with Buddhist shrines. This, I believe, is a truly high level of culture and social development. #Hong Kong
