	Hong Kong
		Hong Kong has the most beautiful harbor I've ever seen—far more beautiful than San Francisco's, which God knows is a beautiful thing.
		But Hong Kong is more mountainous, with craggy islands and a marvelous assortment of boats—junks, of course, and sampans, also Russian trawlers and gaudy Chinese cruise ships and fishing vessels from mainland China and, when we were there, a U.S. destroyer.
		Enormous quantities of the goods sold in Hong Kong are from the mainland, which may be one of the reasons why Hong Kong, unlike Taiwan, seems unworried about the giant next door.

		The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) is located at the southeastern tip of the People's Republic of China, some 1,996km (1,240 miles) south of Beijing; it lies just south of the Tropic of Cancer at about the same latitude as Mexico City, the Bahamas, and Hawaii.
		Sha Tin, with a population approaching almost 700,000 and home of one of Hong Kong's two horse-racing tracks, is the largest; in all, the New Territories house approximately half of the SAR's population.
		I'd argue that Hong Kong is also the most stunning, given the ferries, cargo ships, fishing boats, and ocean liners bustling in Victoria Harbour, juxtaposed against many peaks that punctuate the cityscape.
