Hong Kong lives with its gaze turned towards the sea. Its harbour, islands and coastline are all part of a city where water is ever-present. Amidst traditional markets, bustling streets and shopping districts, the city is explored by double-decker buses and trams, ferries and cable cars that connect neighbourhoods, mountains and different vantage points. It is a place where skyscrapers are part of the landscape, but where there is also room for nature.
