With over 27 million visitors per year, Hong Kong runs away with the prize for the\u00a06th<\/sup>\u00a0consecutive year, and with good reason. With stunning harbor views, an awesome skyline, and a fusion of cultures found everywhere from the feng shui<\/a> architecture, to the rich contrasts in cuisine\u2014this city is certainly hard to resist.<\/p>\n
