Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a major city itself. Considered to be the jewel of Asia, Hong Kong is an international major trading port, controlling trade transactions of Asia.

Hong Kong is also known as one of the "Big Three" cities, along with London and New York. While Hong Kong controls Asia, London controls trade in Europe and New York: the Americas.

Hong Kong is a 'special administrative area' of the Peoples Republic of China. Hong Kong was formerly a British colony until 1997.

The postage to mail a letter from the United States to China is $1.15. This price assumed that the standard letter weighs one ounce or less.

China is classed as a Newly Industrialised Country because it has many factories which export products worldwide but it is not yet classed as a High Income Country because it is very overpopulated (which is why they introduced the one child policy) so it hasn't got enough money in the country to provide for all of the population of the country.

The only neighboring country is Hong Kong's ruler, China.

= Climate of Hong Kong = Hong Kong's climate is sub-tropical, tending towards temperate for nearly half the year. During November and December there are pleasant breezes, plenty of sunshine and comfortable temperatures. Many people regard these as the best months of the year. January and February are more cloudy, with occasional cold fronts followed by dry northerly winds. It is not uncommon for temperatures to drop below 10 C in urban areas. The lowest temperature recorded at the Observatory is 0 C, although sub-zero temperatures and frost occur at times on high ground and in the New Territories. March and April can also be very pleasant although there are occasional spells of high humidity. Fog and drizzle can be particularly troublesome on high ground which is exposed to the southeast, and air traffic and ferry services are occasionally disrupted because of reduced visibility. May to August are hot and humid with occasional showers and thunderstorms, particularly during the mornings. Afternoon temperatures often exceed 31 C whereas at night, temperatures generally remain around 26 C with high humidity. There is usually a fine dry spell in July which may possibly last for one to two weeks, or for even longer in some years. July to September are the months during which Hong Kong is most likely to be affected by tropical cyclones, although gales are not unusual at any time between May and November. On average, about 31 tropical cyclones form in the western North Pacific or China Seas every year, and about half of them reach typhoon strength (maximum winds of 118 kilometres per hour or more). When a tropical cyclone is about 700 to 1000 kilometres southeast of Hong Kong, the weather is usually fine and exceptionally hot, but isolated thunderstorms sometimes occur in the evenings. If the centre comes closer to Hong Kong, winds will increase and rain can become heavy and widespread. Heavy rain from tropical cyclones may last for a few days and subsequent landslips and flooding sometimes cause considerably more damage than the winds. The mean annual rainfall ranges from around 1300 millimetres at Waglan Island to more than 3000 millimetres in the vicinity of Tai Mo Shan. About 80 percent of the rain falls between May and September. The wettest month is August, when rain occurs about four days out of seven and the average monthly rainfall at the Observatory is 391.4 millimetres. The driest month is January, when the monthly average is only 23.4 millimetres and rain falls only about six days a month. Severe weather phenomena that can affect Hong Kong include tropical cyclones, strong winter monsoon winds, and thunderstorms with associated squalls that are most frequent from April to September. Waterspouts and hailstorms occur infrequently, while snow and tornadoes are rare.

In Hong Kong, people go out for lunch, go shopping in plazas or street markets, play table tennis or Chinese chess, practise tai chi or have dinner in a small cafe and watch their favourite drama or soap operas.

Hong Kong is made up of two large Islands; Lantau island and hong Kong Island, and the New Territories, which is a peninsula. It also includes several small islands such as Cheung Chau Island.

The distance from HK to NY is 8098 miles (13033 km).

the BEST place you can buy a bike in hong kong is in kowloon tong or hong hum..... :D

Guam is about half the size of Hong Kong. Guam is approximately 212 sq. miles in area (550 sq. km) while Hong Kong is approximately 426 sq. miles (1100 sq km) in area.

As you are probably aware, Hong Kong has MANY more people: at over 7 million, it is the 4th most densely populated place on earth. Guam has about 180,000 people, almost half of them from the U.S. military.

The question is weird because Hong Kong is a city. You can consider that Hong Kong districts form a city when combined together. In that case the most desnily populated area are situated in Kowloon, especially Mongkok.

The most agitated ones are certainly Wanchai and Central if you think of LKF, but to some extent the whole city is very agitated.

No since 1997 control of Hong Kong has been handled by The Peoples Republic of China

Hong Kong is a small-sized island covering 1,095 sq. km (423 sq. miles). However, there are currently many reclamation projects at hand, thus expanding the land area. Hong Kong never used to be as big as it is now. From 1851 to 1997, the total area of land reclaimed from the sea measured to 60 sq. km (23 sq. miles). In area, the island of Hong Kong is 80 sq. km (31 sq. miles), Kowloon peninsular is 47 sq. km (18 sq. miles), the New Territories is 794 sq. km (306 sq. miles), and the remote islands total 175 sq. km (67 sq. miles).

Very crowded, but it also depends on where in Hong Kong you are.

In places like Mong Kok, there are literally masses and masses of people, and it is impossible to walk without touching anyone else. The MTR at rush hour is also terrible, with people trying to cram onto the train even when there is obviously no more space.

However, go to somewhere like Sai Kung and climb a mountain, and you feel as if you are the only person in the world, unless of course you meet someone else on the trail.
