San Francisco is located on the coast of California about 400 miles north of Los Angeles. It is located on the shores of a large bay protected by the coastal mountains of California. The city is famous for its steep streets, with panoramic views of the beautiful San Francisco Bay and the surrounding mountains. It has a very moderate climate, the breezes from the Pacific Ocean coast make summers warm and winters cold, but without extreme temperatures.
Founded in 1776 by a Spanish friar and developed in 1848 thanks to the "gold rush", San Francisco today has more than 800,000 inhabitants and is one of the most important tourist destinations in the United States.
The territory is known for the Golden Gate Bridge, which connects San Francisco with a mountainous peninsula called Marin, the island of Alcatraz, an abandoned prison located in the middle of San Francisco Bay, and the Twin Peaks hill, which enjoys incredible panoramic views over the entire area. The unique character of the city has emerged thanks to the cultural mix of native Indians, Spanish settlers, and many Asian immigrants.
In this city, you can get to know some of its most exclusive neighborhoods such as Chinatown, Japantown, Mission District (Hispanic neighborhood), North Beach (known as the Italian neighborhood), Financial District (the financial heart of the city), Castro District (the largest gay community), or the Haight Ashbury area (the cradle of the hippie movement). Culturally open, the city is also reflected in the imaginative cuisine found in the many fabulous restaurants in the area. Here everyone finds their place.
San Francisco is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the United States. Its steep streets lined with Victorian houses, a huge turquoise bay surrounded by low mountains, and vintage cable cars pulled by cables that still carry passengers up and down the hills of the city, all this makes San Francisco one of the most picturesque places in the United States.

Hong Kong (Chinese: 香港, Xiānggǎngpinyin; literally "Fragrant Harbor") is one of two special administrative regions of the People's Republic of China along with Macau. It is located on the southern coast of China between the Pearl River Delta and the South China Sea. The city is famous for its predominant skyline and deep natural harbor. With an area of ​​1,104 km2 and a population of seven million people, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. 95% of Hong Kong's population is of Chinese ethnicity, while the remaining 5% belong to other groups. The city's majority Chinese ethnic group, the Han, mainly originates from the cities of Canton and Taishan in the nearby province of Guangdong.

Hong Kong became a colony of the British Empire after the First Opium War (1839-1842). Originally limited to Hong Kong Island alone, the colony's borders were extended, in 1860, to include the Kowloon Peninsula and then with new territories in 1898. The region was then briefly occupied by Japan during the Pacific War, then returned to British control, which ended in 1997 when China resumed its sovereignty. The history of Hong Kong has profoundly influenced its culture, which is often described as "the East meets the West", and the education system which pursued the English system until the reforms implemented in 2009.

Under the principle "one country, two systems", Hong Kong has a political system different from mainland China. The functioning of the country's independent judiciary works according to the Common law legal system model. The Hong Kong Basic Law, its constitution, establishes that the region enjoys a high degree of autonomy in all aspects, except foreign relations and military defense. Despite Hong Kong having a thriving multi-party system, a small electorate controls half of its legislature. The Chief Executive of Hong Kong, the head of government, is chosen by an electoral committee which varies from 400 to 1,200 members, a system which will be in force for all the first 20 years of Chinese rule.

Hong Kong is one of the most important international financial centers in the world and like the others, Hong Kong boasts a large capitalist economy based on the tertiary sector and characterized by low taxation and free trade. The currency, the Hong Kong dollar, is the eighth most traded currency in the world. The lack of space and the growing number of inhabitants and infrastructure have led the city to have an intense density of buildings, making it the most vertical city in the world. Hong Kong citizens boast one of the highest per capita incomes in the world. The density has also led to the development of an advanced public transport network. The citizens who use it are over 90%, the highest percentage in the world. Hong Kong enjoys high positions in numerous international rankings. For example, in economic freedom, economic and financial competitiveness, quality of life, corruption, the human development index, etc., the region is always ranked among the top places.
According to estimates from both the United Nations and the WHO, Hong Kong, in 2012, had the longest life expectancy of any other region in the world.

Hong Kong is one of the most important international financial centers in the world and like the others, Hong Kong boasts a large capitalist economy based on the tertiary sector and characterized by low taxation and free trade. The currency, the Hong Kong dollar, is the eighth most traded currency in the world. The lack of space and the growing number of inhabitants and infrastructure have led the city to have an intense density of buildings, making it the most vertical city in the world. Hong Kong citizens boast one of the highest per capita incomes in the world. The density has also led to the development of an advanced public transport network. The citizens who use it are over 90%, the highest percentage in the world. Hong Kong enjoys high positions in numerous international rankings. For example, in economic freedom, economic and financial competitiveness, quality of life, corruption, the human development index, etc., the region is always ranked among the top places.
According to estimates from both the United Nations and the WHO, Hong Kong, in 2012, had the longest life expectancy of any other region in the world.

Port Klang

Port Kelang, also known as Port Klang, is the main port of Malaysia and one of the busiest ports in Southeast Asia.

The port was officially opened in 1901 to meet the boom in the mining industry in the region. Originally its name was Port Swettenham, in honor of Sir Frank Swettenham, the first British resident of the Federated Malay States. Then, in 1972, the port was renamed Port Klang. Today Port Klang continues to play a crucial role in Malaysia's commercial and logistics sector, fostering economic growth and development in the region.

Port Louis

Spectacular under the peaks of imposing mountains, Port Louis makes an impression from the plateau with its frenetic center on the ocean in a frieze that seems to defy perspective. A wonderful experience.

Despite being the national capital, the main economic center, and the largest city in the country, Port Louis occupies a rather strange place in modern Mauritian psyche. The more affluent classes have traditionally lived outside the city, especially in the towns of Rose Hill, Quatre Bornes, Moka, and Vacoas. This trend continues today, to the extent that Port Louis (the final 's' is usually silent) can sometimes seem like a city without a middle class, without a center, and a ghost town after dark. This impression is totally false, however – Port Louis has a lot to offer, and anyone who only visits the fantastic Caudan Waterfront will get a very bland impression of the national capital. The hustle and bustle of the streets, the famous city market, Chinatown, and the collection of beautifully preserved colonial buildings make Port Louis much more than just a place to shop away from the beach.

With 6.5 million international tourists, South Africa appears to be the first destination in Africa. The inhabitants of Cape Town are truly open to tourism, which began at the threshold of the 90s, at the end of apartheid. Thanks to a significant regional and European tourism development, in recent years, the nation has grown considerably. African visitors are distinguished from those from overseas, differentiated by the activities carried out and seasonal movements.

But everyone participates fully in the development of the tourism sector. For lovers of architecture, the city is also famous for its colonial style, called Cape Dutch, particularly evident in the Constantia districts. During your stay in this fabulous place, you can stroll through the main streets: starting from Piazza Heerengracht where the first camp of the East India Company was founded. A short distance away, shopping lovers can also enjoy and discover Adderley Street, the main shopping street.

Without forgetting Government Avenue, where passers-by will find themselves in a beautiful glazed walkway of ancient oaks.
