THE CITY OF HONG KONG
Hong Kong has a population of 7 million people but the land area is only 1,108 km2 (428 sq mi). Therefore, it is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Officially called the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, it is a largely self-governing territory of the People's Republic of China. To the north is Guangdong whereas to the east, south and west Hong Kong is bordered by the South China Sea. Nowadays, Hong Kong is a global metropolitan and international financial centre with a highly developed capitalist economy.
