Hong Kong
The central part of this booming metropolis is Victoria, an island in which this
fascinating city is situated. The steep terrain in Hong Kong has created a population
convergence in only 15% of the land. This accounts for 90% of the residents living
in Hong Kong. As a result of this there is no choice but to build upwards and
this makes Hong Kong home to some of the world’s tallest buildings. Hong

Hong Kong also has its own preserved parkland that covers a large part of Hong
Kong’s outlaying area.
