Hong Kong connects Eastern and Western cultures across a compact territory. The city spreads over several islands and a section of mainland, with modern towers standing alongside traditional temples and markets. The streetscape shifts between densely built business districts like Central and older residential areas such as Mong Kok, where markets and local restaurants shape daily life. From Victoria Peak, visitors can survey the city's extent across the harbor. The Star Ferry has linked Hong Kong Island with Kowloon for over a century, offering a direct view of the skyline. On Lantau Island, the Tian Tan Buddha rises above the Ngong Ping plateau, accessible by cable car or bus. Throughout the districts, religious sites include Wong Tai Sin Temple and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery in Sha Tin, while Nan Lian Garden in Diamond Hill presents a formal Chinese garden layout. Markets such as the Temple Street Night Market in Yau Ma Tei and the Ladies Market in Mong Kok draw those seeking local goods and street food. The Hong Kong Museum of History documents the region's development, while Hong Kong Wetland Park offers insight into natural habitats. Coastal areas like Repulse Bay and the fishing village of Tai O on Lantau reveal different aspects of the city beyond the urban centers.
