Hong Kong lies in Southern China on the east side of the Pearl River. The huge metropolitan city is one of China’s biggest tourist destinations. With all the latest findings by scientists around the globe, more countries are looking to implement sustainable environmental policies, and China is no different. In Hong Kong, you will see the “green roof” movement in action. Businesses and apartment owners are planting rooftop gardens to help reduce the damage of storm drainage, conserve water, and eliminate carbon emissions in the air. Plus these gardens have the added benefit of feeding the community. While visiting the city, make sure you check out these beautiful gardens and indulge in traditional food in between visiting all the tourist attractions. We also put together this list of the best green hotels in Hong Kong.
