Why Hong Kong Works Well

Hong Kong works well because it is compact, efficient and highly connected. It combines city energy, harbour scenery, food, shopping, culture and easy transport, making it ideal as a gateway, stopover or short extension before or after China, Japan, Southeast Asia or Oceania routes.
