Hong Kong’s flora and fauna are remarkably diverse, ranging from subtropical forests and mangroves to rare bird species and marine life. Despite its urban density, Hong Kong is a biodiversity hotspot with over 3,300 species of vascular plants and more than 540 species of birds.

Hong Kong’s transport system is one of the most efficient, safe, and comprehensive in the world, moving over 11 million passengers daily across railways, buses, ferries, trams, and taxis. Each mode of transport is uniquely distinct and plays a vital role in the visuals of our home city.

The Chinese Zodiac plays a central role in Hong Kong’s culture, especially during Lunar New Year, shaping traditions, fortune-telling, and public celebrations. Each year is associated with one of 12 animals, and Hong Kong embraces this cycle through festivals, temple rituals, and modern interpretations.

Hong Kong cuisine is a vibrant reflection of its rich culture and history, blending Chinese culinary traditions with influences from various international cuisines from its colonial past and diverse population. It is central to daily life, social gatherings, and festive celebrations, reflecting both heritage and modern cosmopolitanism. From street food to festive treats, Hong Kong cuisine is an iconic part of the our city's culture and experience.
