Hong kong is a tiny British colony off the
coast of CHINA. It will be taken over by the
Chinese in 1997. Part of it is a small
island, and the rest is a narrow strip of
land called the New Territories, which is
actually part of mainland China. Hong Kong
has been governed by the Britain since 1842.
Hong Kong has a busy harbour surrounded by
mountains. The capital of Hong Kong is
Victoria. Hong Kong is a fascinating
mixture of East and West. The people live by
trade, fishing, and farming. Tall apartment
buildings have been built to house them,
but there is still little room for the
millions of people who live there.
