Hong Kong is called New-York of Asia, though there are even more skyscrapers than in the American megapolis. Hong Kong consists of a lot of islands, the largest of which are Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Island and the New Territories. In 1997 Hong Kong was given back to China by Great Britain, after what Hong Kong officially got a special status in China. The city landscape of the city really shocks, especially in evenings, but it's not the only thing that deserves your attention.
