From personal experience I can say with most certainty that Hong Kong is one of the most amazing and diverse cities I have ever been to. Large buildings, beautiful sky-scrape, bright lights, city markets, animals, Hong Kong is so full of life and beauty. The people are among the friendliest in the world and even as an American tourist that didn't speak an ounce of Chinese, I still made my way around the city without any problems and found everyone to be extremely polite and courteous. I fully enjoyed my trip and would go back in a heart beet!
