About Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a special administration region of China. It is a former British colony and has a rather cosmopolitan vibe. It is known for cramming 7million people into a small area of densely packed buildings, but many visitors are surprised to discover that the territory has some green places, too, for example, Lantau Island. Hong Kong’s subtropical climate means summers can be hot and sticky but winds off the sea cool things down in the winter.
