About my hometown - HONG KONG!

Just in case anyone would like to know a bit about who I am ... here are some descriptions!!

I am from HONG KONG!!

Hong Kong - A Special Administrative Region (SAR) which is situated in the south of China. We used to be a colony of the UK and was reverted to China in 1997. So we are part of China now.

Hong Kong is especially famous for its night views - indeed it is claimed to be one of the three cities in the world with the so-called Best Night Views - the other two cities being Napoli (=Naples) in Italy and Hakodate in Hokkaido, Japan.

Hong Kong isn't big (total area is only about 1,104 square km). It has mainly three areas - Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, plus some islands. The whole of Hong Kong is divided into 18 districts.

The main territory of Hong Kong consists of a peninsula bordered to the north by Guangdong province, an island to the south east of the peninsula, and a smaller island to the south. These areas are surrounded by numerous much smaller islands.


Not sure if any of you knows that we have a Disneyland in Hong Kong!!




But we are even more proud of ourselves for having a huge oceanarium called The Ocean Park (香港海洋公園)!!
