Home About Us Search Hong Kong's Main Page Hong Kong's Geography The subtropical climate of Hong Kong with its four distinct seasons is best visited when its relatively dry and cool which is from October to December. Hong Kong's summers have average temperatures of 82 degrees F (28 C) and are extremely hot and humid. Rainfall is plentiful during this time, April to September, as Hong Kong's residents are subjected to typhoons. There is a short spring and fall period and the winter temperatures average about 59 degrees F ( 15 C). Hong Kong can be divided into three distinct areas: Hong Kong Island (Victoria), Kowloon and the New Territories. Located across the bay from Kowloon is what is commonly known as Hong Kong Island, or Victoria. This section of Hong Kong has several notorious areas: the Central District, which is the center of business; the Western District is heavily influenced by the Chinese, it is also where the British first settled; Causeway Bay, initially known as East Point by the British, is home to Victoria Park as well as many high rises; Stanley, located on the southern side, is infamous for its beaches, Stanley Market, and the nearby Stanley Prison; Aberdeen, also on the south side, was the main fishing port before the British arrived and is home to thousands of boats. Kowloon is less than 4 square miles (11 sq km) but in its Mong Kok district (as well as on Hong Kong Island), the population density is one of the highest on Earth at 116,400 per square km. In this area is the "Golden Mile," a strip known for its shops/vendors as well as its nightlife. When Britain leased land from Boundary Street (in Kowloon) up the the Shenzhen river (along with over 200 islands), this area became known as the New Territories. In the New Territories are many villages as well as numerous islands favored for weekend trips to relax. One of those favored islands, Lantau Island, is actually larger than Hong Kong Island and has been developed with resorts and town homes.

Geography Hong Kong spreads out over 1,100 square kilometres on the southern coast of China. Main areas include Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories. Hong Kong Island lies south of Kowloon and the two are separated by Victoria Harbour. The New Territories lie north of Kowloon and run up to the boundary with mainland China at Lo Wu. The New Territories also include more than 260 outlying islands. Geographically, Hong Kong is the heart of Asia. Situated on the southeastern coast of China, it serves as a gateway for thousands of businessmen who want to gain entrance to the mainland's massive market, and for travellers who are fascinated by the charms of this captivating land.
Language The official languages in Hong Kong are Chinese and English. The latter is more commonly used in the business community while Cantonese is the most widely spoken dialect.

Hong Kong
Dateline: 06/30/97 (Rev. 12/04/97) As China assumes control of their new Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong, it is important to understand the history and geography of this vibrant economic enclave in Southeast Asia.
History
Great Britain originally took control of Hong Kong with its excellent deep-water port during the nineteenth century Opium Wars with China. Following the First Opium War the treaty of Nanjing was signed, giving Britain full control of Hong Kong forever. Following additional conflicts, additional land was ceded to Britain and the 1898 treaty called for a 99-year lease of the new territory. On July 1, that 99-year lease expires and Hong Kong reverts to Chinese control and an official name change to Xianggang. Hong Kong's port made it a prized possession of the British Empire and helped contribute to the territory's success in the Pacific Rim. After the Communist victory of 1949 in China, Hong Kong began changing from a minor port to a major economic power in the global economy. A 1950 United Nations embargo on trade with China kept Hong Kong from continuing trade with their main partner. Hong Kong had a large base of human resources but no natural resources. They turned this to their advantage by importing raw materials, building factories, and began exporting finished goods such as textiles, clothing, electronics, plastics, toys, and watches and clocks. Now Hong Kong is one of the most productive and wealthy areas of Southeast Asia.

Introduction
People History Culture ... Communications Legal system Organization Provinces Disputes
Hong Kong Introduction Back to Top Hong Kong, administrative region of China, consisting of a mainland portion located on the country’s southeastern coast and about 235 islands. Hong Kong is bordered on the north by Guangdong Province and on the east, west, and south by the South China Sea. Hong Kong was a British dependency from the 1840s until July 1, 1997, when it passed to Chinese sovereignty as the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR). The British control of Hong Kong began in 1842, when China was forced to cede Hong Kong Island to Britain after the First Opium War. In 1984 Britain and China signed the Sino-British Joint Declaration, which stipulated that Hong Kong return to Chinese rule in 1997 as the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China. The Joint Declaration and a Chinese law called the Basic Law, which followed in 1990, provide for the SAR to operate with a high degree of economic autonomy for 50 years beyond 1997. Hong Kong Provinces Back to Top
none (special administrative region of China) Hong Kong People Back to Top At the time of the 1991 census, Hong Kong had a population of 5,674,114. The 2001 population was 7,210,505, indicating a population density of 6,603 persons per sq km (17,102 per sq mi). The population is unevenly distributed, however, with the greatest concentrations of people in Kowloon and across the harbor on Hong Kong Island. Some districts, such as Mong Kok in Kowloon, have population densities of about 40,000 persons per sq km (about 100,000 per sq mi), among the highest urban densities in the world. Although birth and death rates are comparatively low in Hong Kong, migration from other parts of China creates a high population growth rate, and migrants now make up about 40 percent of the population.

Surrounding the country's southern coast is the South China Sea. The country consists of a peninsular protruding from southeastern China and hundreds of islands scattered off the coast. Kowloon and the New Territories make up the peninsular, while south off the mainland is Hong Kong Island and various other remote islands.

Originally it was only the name of a small settlement near Aberdeen, the main fishing and entrepot port on pre-colonial Hong Kong Island. Some historians suggest that Hong Kong's Chinese name was inspired by its export of fragrant incense. Kowloon: "Nine Dragons" ( click for postcard )
The explanation for Kowloon's name is even more romantic. In Chinese, the peninsula's name is Gow Lung, meaning "Nine Dragons". The name is thought to have been coined by Emperor Ping, one of two boy- emperors of the doomed Sung Dynasty whose court fled to Hong Kong eight centuries ago. He is said to have counted eight mountains in the area, and decided to name it "Eight Dragons" (in accordance with the belief that every mountain is inhabited by a dragon).
The Emperor's tally of the peaks was corrected by a quick-witted courtier who pointed out that as emperors were also believed to be dragons, the place should be named "Nine Dragons" - Ping being the ninth. The origin of Kowloon's name may be a legend, but it is a historical fact that the boy-emperor's travelling palace stayed there. One ancient carved-rock inscription recording the imperial visit stands in a small park on the very edge of Hong Kong International Airport.

Asia hong-kong Travel Guide ... Tsim Sha Tsui GEOGRAPHY With its magnificent harbour, steep peak and surrounding islands, Hong Kong is one of the world's more geographically interest ing cities. The territory's 1084 sq km is divided into four main areas - Hong Kong Island Kowloon the New Territories and Outlying Islands Victoria Harbour is Hong Kong's cents of gravity, with most of the urban areas lining the northern or southern shores. Originally about one mile wide, the harbour is heir squeezed by reclamation on both sides. On the south side of the harbour lies Hot Kong Island, which covers 78 sq km, or just 7% of Hong Kong's land area. Most of tl commercial and residential areas are on tl north side of the island, including Central the main business, banking and adminstrative district. The southern side of the isia mostiv wealthy residents and boasts some nice beaches. The two sides are separated by a backbone of steep hills, including Victoria Peak, Hong Kong's premier scenic viewpoint. Kowloon is a peninsula on the north side of the harbour. The southern tip, Tsim Sha Tsui, is a major tourist area, and has seemingly endless blocks of shops and hotels. The areas further north and west are filled with residential and commercial towers and industrial zones that include some of the most cramped and dingy parts of Hong Kong. Boundary St, which cuts across the middle of the peninsula, marks where the British-Chinese border was before Britain snatched the rest of Kowloon along with the New Territories in 1898.
