50 reasons why Hong Kong is the world’s greatest city

CNNGo.com recently posted an article that some readers may consider to be a little biased but it contains 50 reasons why its authors think that Hong Kong is the world’s greatest city (besides the mountains, the sea and the beautiful harbor skyline which are reasons enough to qualify Hong Kong as #1). Here are the 50 reasons (and to read why each of these reasons makes Hong Kong the world’s greatest city, just refer to the CNNGo.com article) and to be honest, I can’t argue with any of them or for that matter, I can’t think of any reasons they may have left out:
