Hong Kong Travel Guide
As a Special Administrative Region of China, Hong Kong is situated on the southeast coast of China,
occupying an area of 426 square miles (1,104 square kilometers). The city is one of the world's leading
financial, banking and trading centers.
It is made up of four parts: Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Peninsula, the New Territories and the Outlying
Islands. The prosperous island is the center of economy, politics, entertainment and shopping with its
southern part noted for sea shores and bays. Kowloon is another flourishing part where Tsim Sha Tsui,
Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok are the most popular destinations. The New Territories and Outlying Islands
are ideal places to experience a peaceful and natural holiday.
