HK ranks #1 among the cities with the most number of skyscrapers in the world.

Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, which means that it enjoys greater political and social autonomy than mainland China, separate administrative and legal systems (based on British common law) and a separate currency (the Hong Kong Dollar, HKD$).

The name 'Hong Kong' is Cantonese for 'fragrance harbor'.

Hong Kong consists of three main territories - Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and New Territories - plus more than 260 smaller (and mostly uninhabited) islands, located where the Pearl river meets the South China Sea.

Hong Kong had been under the British Crown rule for 155 years, from 1842 untill 1997.

Both Chinese and English are the official languages in Hong Kong. English is widely used in the Government and by the legal, professional and business sectors.

Victoria Peak or commonly known as 'The Peak' is the highest point on Hong Kong Island and offers a breathtaking view over Victoria Harbor.

Snake soup is a Chinese delicacy that contains as many as five different types of snake meat. Boiled with ingredients such as pork bones, chicken, and spices, this thick and flavorful soup is especially popular in Hong Kong during the winter months.

'Big Buddha' is a 34m tall statue located on a Lantau Island. It is the second-largest outdoor sitting Buddha in the world.

In 2008 'The Dark Knight' came to HK to film a scene in which the caped crusader captures mob accountant Lau. The building in question is Two International Financial Centre, over 400m tall and at the time the tallest in the city.

The International Commerce Centre rises above the city skyline to 484m and is the tallest skyscraper in Hong Kong.

I know I can succeed at Manchester United, and I want to show everyone that I deserve to be a key player in this team and this league.

The thing that I really look for in people is enthusiasm and excitement and, not to sound really sappy, that fire in their eyes.

I always got along with Borg, who was my greatest rival. People like to see me and Connors, me and Lendl, go at it. We didn't like each other.

Do we change every time we have a new encounter? Are we endlessly mutable? I think these are fascinating questions: it's a rich vein to tap, and I don't think I have exhausted it fully yet.

Nobody should have to be a systems integrator to make a convergence network work in their home.

At 17, I went away to Pau in the south of France for a few months to study domestic science - including cleaning windows with newspaper and water - while living with a Catholic family with 10 children.

My e-books sales have overtaken everything else, so I think all the marketing has become very much driven by the author now because of social media.

I am very picky with my career. I don't need to do it for the money or the fame. I'm very choosy, which is why I haven't played the typical role that people expect to see from someone of my stature and size, as the mean jock or the preppy. It's very easy to see me like that. That's why I go against it in different roles.

Be happy, and a reason will come along.

Loyalty is something you give regardless of what you get back, and in giving loyalty, you're getting more loyalty; and out of loyalty flow other great qualities.

If people have moral courage to stand up to the smallest injustice-their own and other's-it's kind of like practice for when the big ones come around.

Appearances have very little to do with happiness.

Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, What's in it for me?

A single moment spent in a business meeting or at a pub is more than enough to reveal the basic human truth that we are all faking it most of the time. We congratulate a rival on a triumph when actually we are choking on spite. We are cordial and attentive to crashing bores.

DISCRIMINATE v.i. To note the particulars in which one person or thing is if possible more objectionable than another.

The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.

All writing is a form of manipulation, of course, but you realize that a plain sentence can actually do so much.

He who tenders doubtful safety to those in trouble refuses it.

His life was one long extravaganza, like living inside a Faberge egg.

Whenever you have an ex, and they're like, 'I hope we can still be friends!' and you weren't friends before you started dating, then what do you go back to, really?

The fact is that we would have had comprehensive health care now, had it not been for Ted Kennedy's deliberately blocking the legislation that I proposed in 1978 or '79.

A church debt is the devil's salary.

Have I got a black book? Yes, it's called a mobile phone. I do get offers. There is no shortage of people if you want to go on dates - working in TV, living in L.A., it is there if you want it.

Mostly we're motivated to control ourselves in public. Mostly. At home the motivation is much less clear. At home there's a bit of a lab for bad behavior. You can test things out without terrible consequences. Or maybe the consequences are there, but they are deferred, buried, much harder to detect.
