About this ebook

Hong Kong is a special administrative region of the People's Republic of China. It is situated on the southeastern coast of China and has a population of over 7 million people. Hong Kong is made up of a main island and a series of smaller islands, and is known for its impressive skyline and bustling port. The official languages of Hong Kong are Chinese and English, and the region is known for its vibrant culture and cuisine. Hong Kong has a rich history that encompasses both Chinese and British influences. In 1842, the region was handed over to Great Britain by China in the Treaty of Nanking. Hong Kong remained under British rule until 1997 when it was returned to China under the principle of "one country, two systems." Today, Hong Kong has a highly developed economy that is centered on international trade and finance. The region also boasts a highly efficient public transportation system that includes buses, trains, trams, and ferries. With a unique blend of Eastern and Western cultures and a strong economic landscape, Hong Kong is truly a global city.
