SKYSCRAPER

​

Hong Kong (a megacity of over 8 million people) boasts the world’s highest concentration of skyscrapers, and yet: is it the presence of water? The harbor is right there! And Hong Kong isn’t just one island! (There are 260 of them!)

 

Is it the network of highways?

Is it the greenery? We aren’t overwhelmed by this excess. The city gives off a rather pleasant vibe with its buildings featuring brutalist and futuristic architecture.

​

FEVER

​

You can feel an energy in the city, a positive efficiency, a need to move that makes you want to get things done! It’s very pleasant. At the same time, there’s a sense of wealth and abundance.

​

BRITISH

​

Over a century of British influence has left the city with a distinctive character, a certain chic, and a few clichés, such as double-decker trams and English-style milk tea

You’ll also notice Victorian-style buildings at the base of the skyscrapers.

​

FENG SHUI

​

Chinese influence, of course, and particularly in contemporary architecture, since the skyline bordering Victoria Harbour was designed according to the art of Feng Shui.

Builders took into account a whole range of factors to promote the flow of positive energy and prosperity.

​

MODERN

​

You truly appreciate the city’s magic and modernity when, in the evening, nearly 50 buildings light up for a modern and fascinating spectacle.

 

TROPICAL

​

The warm, humid climate—which is never unpleasant—fosters lush vegetation, creating a blend of dense urban spaces and tropical-style gardens, not to mention the jungle-like Mount Victoria.

​

RELIGIOUS

​

Be sure to visit the Man Mo Temple, where everyone is welcome to worship various deities in an atmosphere of great tolerance.

​

Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism coexist here

Everyone comes to pray and hope.
