Hong Kong is one of the world's largest and most economically important cities, considered one of the Eastern hemisphere's vital financial centers. Today it stands as a citadel for modern lifestyle, teenage culture, media entertainment, and towering architecture. Hong Kong is frequently described as a place where East meets West, a meeting reflected in its economic infrastructure, education and street culture. On one street corner, there may be traditional Chinese shops selling Chinese herbal medicine, Buddhist paraphernalia or bowls of synthetic shark fin soup. But around the next, one may find theatres showing the latest Hollywood blockbuster, an English-style pub, a Catholic Church or a McDonald's.
