To begin my exploration into the city of Hong Kong i found some interesting facts about the city and the lifestyle/culture of the people who live there.
- People eat long noodles on their birthday, so they might be blessed with a long life.
- It is the world’s most vertical city – with more people living or working above the 14th floor than anywhere else on Earth.
- To many Hong Kong people, their dreams are to own a home.
- Hong Kong means 'Fragrant Harbour'
- There are 7,650 skyscrapers in Hong Kong.
- Hong Kong is very hilly and there are outdoor escalators(!) in the Central district of the Island.
- Chinese lucky numbers are 2, 3, 6, 8 and 9.
- Unlucky numbers are 1, 4 and 7 (4 and 7 sound like the Chinese word for death)
