Cities and Urbanization

These are the world’s most visited cities

Mainland Chinese tourists view the Hong Kong skyline at the Peak in Hong Kong January 14, 2014. Launched by the Hong Kong government over a decade ago to stimulate an economy battered by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) crisis, the Hong Kong Capital Investment Entrant Scheme has proved a hit with mainland Chinese who, though technically barred, see it as a means to invest money near home without the tight controls imposed by Beijing. Although governed by Beijing, Hong Kong has a high degree of autonomy. Picture taken January 14, 2014.   REUTERS/Tyrone Siu (CHINA - Tags: POLITICS BUSINESS SOCIETY IMMIGRATION CITYSCAPE TRAVEL)
