Where is Hong Kong?
Hong Kong is located
That's right in the middle of China's southern coast. It forms a triangle with Macau to the West and Guangzhou (Canton) to the Northwest in the Pearl River delta. The area is developing at an astonishing pace. It is linked by strong commercial and cultural ties, as well as high-speed transportation. Hong Kong is also within easy reach of Mainland China, East and Southeast Asia, and Oceania.
Small territory, big city
Hong Kong packs a lot of action into a mere 1,104 square kilometers. Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon peninsula are at the core of the city, surrounding famed Victoria Harbor. This is where you can see Hong Kong's celebrated skyline and experience urban dynamism at its utmost. To the north, the rural New Territories are home to vast country parks, ancient villages, tranquil wetlands, and diverse wildlife. 262 outlying islands have largely retained their traditional character, accessible to the adventurous yet removed from the rigors of modern life.
