Hong Kong


Hong Kong[7] (Chinese: 香港) is a special administrative region of the People's Republic of China. Situated on China's south coast and enclosed by the Pearl River Delta and South China Sea,[8] it is renowned for its expansive skyline and deep natural harbour.

Hong kong is famous for it's variety of shops and tourists often visit this city for shopping purposes. Tourists also visit Hong Kong to experience the sceneries of the skyscrapers. Recently, Hong Kong Disneyland had been built. It is the first theme park in Hong Kong. Hong Kong Disneyland, the fifth Magic Kingdom-style park, is located on a reclaimed land in Penny's Bay, Lantau Island. Tourists are attracted by the Disneyland that is modified to fit the Chinese culture.

Hong Kong is a recognised global centre of trade, and calls itself an 'entertainment hub'.[108] Its martial arts film genre gained a high level of popularity in the late 1960s and 1970s. Several Hollywood performers and martial artists have originated from Hong Kong cinema, notably Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan,Chow Yun-Fat, and Yuen Woo-ping.

The Hong Kong government supports cultural institutions such as the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, the Hong Kong Museum of Art, the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, and the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. Also, the government's Leisure and Cultural Services Department subsidises and sponsors international performers brought to Hong Kong. Many international cultural activities are organised by the government, consulates, and privately.

    I think Hong Kong can be classified as an event attraction as many activities are going on there.

    How about as a human-made attraction since Hong Kong has Disneyland?

    I think Hong Kong can also be a human-made attraction as Hong Kong has a nice city landscape.

    I think that Hong Kong is both human-made and cultural historical. Vi Chien

    I think that Hong Kong is a human-made attraction as impressive buildings form a beautiful city skyline there, and an event attraction as it has many events and activities.
