Hong Kong is a city of dramatic contrasts. Its towering skyscrapers, which are monuments to the city\u2019s development as a world financial centre, stand against a magnificent backdrop of the Victoria Harbour and its constant traffic of ferries, junks, sampans and ocean liners.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Although Hong Kong is one of the world\u2019s greatest metropolises, three quarters of its 1,108 square kilometres of land is countryside! Scenically, it offers a landscape rising from sandy beaches and rocky foreshores to heights of almost 1,000 metres, woodlands and mountain ranges covered by open grassland and a variety of scenic vistas.<\/p>\n
