Comparisons of Hong Kong and Switzerland

We visited Hong Kong, China, and Zurich, Switzerland last month. Two very nice areas but very different.  I could have used Zurich, Switzerland, but it is very small relative to Hong Kong. The City of Hong Kong is developing with very tall buildings while Switzerland keeps most of their structures much lower. 

The comparisons below show Hong Kong, a City, with the entire country of Switzerland.
