Since the British hand over Hong Kong to China in 1997 to till date, Hong Kong has changed a lot in infrastructure, policy-wise, and much more.
Densely populated city:
Hong Kong is a very dense city; it ranked no: the eighth dense city in the world. Sixty-eight thousand four hundred people loving per sq mile; this happened because of many high-risk buildings and people living in a small flats. However, it is dense, but due to government activities of making infrastructure, parks, refreshments, games, and other activities like swimming, playgrounds, exercise facility, hiking tracks, and cycling facilities- Hong Kong is still a healthy and lively city to live in.

No 4th floor in a high-rise building
Hongkongers believe in Feng shui; according to their astrology, the number 4 is not appropriate or suitable for anything like 4th floor, car number, and telephone number; everyone wants to avoid this number.
Most highrise building has no 4th floor, so they avoid it, whereas western people find no: 7 as a lucky number.

Hong long Midlevel escalator is the world’s most giant escalator; coming down in height during the morning because many residence people come down for work; likewise, afternoon it change the direction to go up which is the time for return back to home. Another side steps for up and Down own. Anyway, if your timing is opposite to the system timing, you will have good exercise physically.
