The city is home to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the fifth-largest in the world by market capitalisation, and serves as a major gateway for trade and investment between mainland China and the rest of the world. Hong Kong's skyline, dominated by skyscrapers on both sides of Victoria Harbour, is one of the most recognisable in Asia.

The UTC+8 offset is shared with mainland China, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Western Australia. Hong Kong's time zone has been UTC+8 since 1904, with a brief interruption during the Japanese occupation in World War II when it was temporarily shifted to UTC+9.
