Clues to look for
Cars drive on the left. Very tall, dense apartment towers, red taxis and bilingual signs.
Driving side
Cars in Hong Kong drive on the left. So do Macau and Japan, which are also in East Asia. Fewer than a quarter of countries drive on the left, so spotting it narrows things down a lot.
Countries it's easy to confuse with Hong Kong
