Delhi Road Map

Check out the Delhi Road map selection down below. Hopefully you will make good use of these!

Delhi, the capital of India, is a huge metropolis with a massive road system and sometimes chaotic traffic situation. To be honest, I wouldn`t be caught dead driving in Delhi, but luckily for people like me there are many public transportation options as well as anb abundance of cheap taxis.

The Delhi Bus Rapid Transit System is a system currently being developed for the city of Delhi, and will be integrated with the (not yet operating but coming soon) Delhi Monorail and Delhi Light Rail. These three systems will combine to make public transport more convenient in this massive metropolis.

Traffic in Delhi is mostly road-based, which causes heavy traffic problems. The light rail and monorail systems will hopefully ease road congestion. In addition, overpasses and flyovers are being considered to create more space above ground level.

Hopefully you found a good road map of Delhi up above. You`ll need it to navigate such a chaotic metropolis and roadway system.

Map of Hong Kong

Take a look at the bottom of the page for a great map of Hong Kong or two, for you to download.

Hong Kong is part of China, but is unique as it is a Special Administrative Region of China, along with its neighbour Macau. Hong Kong used to be administered by the UK, but was returned to China in 1997. Part of the deal of its return was the concept of "One country, two systems" which means that Hong Kong is part of China but is goverened largely autonomously. The exceptions lie in foreign policy and defense.

Hong Kong has a population of over 7 million people crammed into approximately 1104 square km (426 square miles), which makes it one of the most densely populated places in the world. It has become known as "the world`s most vertical city" because of all its high rise buildings and apartments, designed to efficiently maximize use of limited space. Its population density and limited space has also led to a highly utilized public transportation system, with 90% of the population using public transport. This is among the highest rates in the world. Hong Kong is a world financial center because of its low taxes and low barriers to business creation.

I have personally spent a week in Hong Kong, and the amount of experiences to be had in this one small area is quite mindblowing.

Hopefully the above Hong Kong map images were sufficient. They are good for a general overview of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
