When we first got to Hong Kong I thought it was so pretty and tropical. Once we got outside it was horrible humid and it was gross. I liked the palm trees in Hong Kong because I never really see palm trees because I do not really go to tropical places for vacations. I also thought that Hong Kong was very interesting with all the boats and the ports. The two suspension bridges were very awesome because they hold records and now I can say that have ridden on them. 
Hong Kong is very Western because of the way the city is laid out. The driving system is
like the European driving system, driving on the left side of the rode and the left side of the car. It is also more Western because of the way the streets are laid out in curves like the European streets and not like a checker board like in Beijing and Xi'an. Compared to Beijing, Hong Kong is a lot more hot and less crowded. But it is more expensive to shop here in Hong Kong then the other cities we have been to. Compared to Beijing and Xi'an Jong Kong is a lot less historical and that is due to the fact that Hong Kong was ruled by England and was given back to China. But China still really doesn't accept Hong Kong because we had to fill out a new arrival card and turn in a departure card when we left Shanghai. Hong Kong is also different then the other cities in China because Hong Kong is a group of islands strung together by bridges and tunnels. Also Hong Kong seems to more clean then other places we have visit but this is also due to the face that until the early 2000s it was under British rule.
