Hong Kong

Hong Kong is one of the biggest, busiest, most ambitious cities in the world. It started as a relatively sleepy collection of villages among the harbors and islands of the Pearl River Delta on the South China Sea. However, in the 19th and 20th centuries, global politics made Hong Kong one of the biggest trading ports in the world. Today, Hong Kong is a center of commerce between Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Despite its huge population density, it also has one of the highest standards of living on Earth. Hong Kong continues to change along with the globalism of the 21st century.
