Hong Kong to Jeddah Garuda Indonesia

Hong Kong is a special administrative region (SAR) of the People’s Republic of China. The autonomous territory is the world’s fourth most populated regions going by its population density.

Hong Kong has a rich historical background. It became a British colony when the Qing Dynasty ceded its powers over the Hong Kong Island to the British. The Qings, incidentally, ruled China during the First Opium War in 1842. Hong Kong remained a British colony till 1997, after which it became an SAR of China, with its own separate political and economic systems of governance.

Presently, as the world’s seventh largest trading country, Hong Kong is a significant global financial centre. The Hong Kong dollar is a very prosperous currency, and the population enjoys simple taxation. The per capita income of HK is also one of the highest in the world. It is a fast-paced cosmopolitan city, attracting tourists with exciting, vibrant and lively vibes. People visiting Hong Kong will be greeted by sky-high buildings, sunsets at the harbour, and varied cultural and historical experiences. One of the best things about Hong Kong, however, is that while the soul of the city may seem relatable to that of New York or London, its essence remains Asian.
