Hong Kong - Hong Kong is one of Asia's most sparkling gems. Who does not want to come to Hong Kong? Wonderful addition to topography and geography, Hong Kong also has many interesting tourist attractions - but also a culinary tourism destination special.
Since June 1997, Hong Kong became a Special Administrative Region (Special Administrative Region) of the People's Republic of China. Previously, during 156 years, Hong Kong is a protectorate of Great Britain and was led by a governor sent from London. Over the past century and a half, Hong Kong has evolved from opium dealers become one of the world's financial center. Now, Hong Kong led by a Chief Executive.
Although in general we recognize Hong Kong as the divided region - Hong Kong Island and Kowloon (an integral part of mainland Asia) - actually there are two other areas that are included in the territory of Hong Kong, namely: the New Territories and Outlying Islands (ie the island islands scattered in front of Kowloon). Hong Kong's new airport, Chek Lap Kok, Lantau Island is located on - the island which was larger than the island of Hong Kong. Several other islands are visited by many tourists is Lamma Island, Cheung Chau and Peng Chau.
Access
For decades, Kaitak on Kowloon side is super-busy airport in Hong Kong. The airport has a difficulty level high enough to land or take off, because of its position as a small pouch at the slit steep hills and buildings of skyscrapers. Wheels of the plane seemed to have grabbed the clothesline before touching the runway.
