With its unique blend of East and West, old and new, Hong Kong is one of Asia's top tourist destinations. From high-end shopping malls to bustling street bazaars, ancient Chinese temples to glass-curtained skyscrapers, neon-lit streets to verdant countryside, Hong Kong is a city of colour and contrast.

It is one of the world's safest cities, with one of the lowest overall crime rates.

The Hong Kong skyline, with its marvellous mountain backdrop, is one of the best in the world in terms of visual impact.

Perhaps no other city offers such a spectacular range of scenery within such easy reach of the city centre. About 40 per cent of the territory of Hong Kong has been designated as country parks and special areas. There are 24 country parks, 22 special areas and 7 marine parks with scenic hills, woodlands, reservoirs and coastline, most of them easily accessible.

Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark was accepted as a member of the Global Geoparks Network in 2011. Located in the eastern part of Hong Kong and extended from the northeast New Territories to the Sai Kung area, it is a single entity where sites and landscapes of international significance are holistically managed with the support of local communities and other geopark stakeholders.

Hong Kong is a gourmet's paradise and a leading wine hub. The Michelin Guide to Hong Kong and Macau features over 200 local culinary attractions, ranging from high-end restaurants to inexpensive street food stalls.
