International Utopia

To many, Hong Kong is where you can buy an original Rolex for $50 at the Mong Kok street market. To most, Hong Kong is no more than an island of cement towers, empty of monuments or other historical artifacts.

But a closer look revelas a unique place in the world, where along a single avenue you'll find a mosque, a church, a synagogue and a temple.

A visit to any residential building in the Pok Fu Lam district, for example, is like visiting the UN building - each apartment housing a family from a different nation. Each one living according to their own ways and culture.

Hong Kong's international schools teach children together from the UK, Ethiopia, France, India and Nicaragua.

There is no place in the world that manages such a multi-cultural society so well. Hong Kong is a multi-racial place where different races came together and combined their customs and beliefs to create a unique society that, to me, is an example in the world we live today.

And guess what? Hong Kong is also one of the success stories of Asia, and one of the richest parts of the world per square mile.

At World Travels you can check out video clips about Hong Kong as a travel destination. There is a huge library of video clips for different destinations, including Mexico, Italy and Canada.
