     Hong Kong is also the most beautiful country in the world. Also, it is very interesting country. Hong Kong has different of wonderful places. This country has a lot of traditions. Hong Kong people are various social aspects, and people bottom-line Chinese values of family solidarity. That is why, make this more peace. There are many reasons to know this country such as Religion and Beliefs, Languages and social.

      Hong Kong has a large variety of religious groups, including Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Christianity and more. That is why, this country has freedom of religion is protected by the Basic law and relevant legislation. However, the majority of people in Hong Kong are atheist. In addition, Chinese Folk Religion plays an integral part of the culture as well. This country has a tradition that many people travel yearly to the cemetery on Ching Ming festival to honors the memory of their ancestors. For example, Chinese New Year is also the most important celebration in the Hong Kong culture. That is, a significant number of Hong Kongers are Christians or Catholics, other religions such as Hindu and Islam. For instance, practiced  by the ethnic minorities in Hong Kong.

      A language of Hong Kong is also the most difficult in the world. For example, Cantonese is the most widely spoken language in Hong Kong, since many years. Consequently, the government has adopted the biliterate and trilingual policy. That is why, under the principle, Chinese and English must both be acknowledged as official languages, with Cantonese being acknowledged as the official Chinese language in Hong Kong, while also accepting the use of Mandarin.

     The majority of people in Hong Kong have very difficult situation about social for many reasons. The first reason, they naturally lean towards eastern culture, but with a heavy western influence as well. Many people in Hong Kong consider themselves as Hong Kongese or Hong Konger. Also, people of Hong Kong has heavy influence is derived from Cantonese culture from the neighboring Chinese province of Guangdong. This country has a lot of social event as well. Hong Kong has different kinds of performing arts, for example, drama, dance, music, and theater. Hong Kong is also home to the first fulltime comedy club in Asia. This country has a good economic change because they have families in need of assistance due to both working parents. In the other hand; the low of Hong Kong the precedence to ban concubine, and same sex marriages , with a strict declaration for heterosexual relationships with one partner only.

      In conclusion, in my opinion this country has a lot of interesting tradition of culture such as social, languages, religion and food as well. Also, that is nice place to go vacation and also know the history of this country. In addition, the people from Hong Kong are very kind and they have a good education too. However, we know Hong Kong is very fear, but this country has very beautiful city and good places for tourist.
