Hong Kong was returned to Chinese rule by the British in 1999.
The British ruled Hong Kong from 1842 to 1997. The British leased areas of the new territories of Hong Kong from China for 99 years and returned all of Hong Kong back to China on July 1, 1997. A memorial statue of a golden bauhinia was made to symbolize the hand over of Hong Kong back to China from 155 years of British rule.

It was part of the United Kingdom (but not "England") when China loaned it to England in 1887. But then it was returned in 1997. So now, it is not a part of England. It is a part of China. No, Hong Kong is situated on China's south coast.
Hong Kong was returned to China when Britain's 99 year lease on the territory expired on July 1, 1997.
