The capital city of Hong Kong is actually Hong Kong itself. The territory operates under the principle of "one country, two systems," which means it maintains a separate legal and economic system from mainland China. Hong Kong is a bustling metropolis known for its impressive skyline, vibrant culture, and status as a major financial hub. Its unique blend of Eastern and Western influences can be seen in its architecture, food, and lifestyle. The city's government is led by a Chief Executive, with significant autonomy in various local matters, though ultimately under the jurisdiction of China.
