Areas of Hong Kong

Hong Kong can be divided into three main parts,


Hong Kong Island

Hong Kong Island is the glitzy big brother of Kowloon tightly packed, its loyalty to market capitalism hasn't been dented one bit by Chinese rule. The bustle of people living and working is the biggest attraction on the island.

Kowloon

The name Kowloon stands for 9 dragons: that is the 8 peaks or mountains that are overlooking Kowloon and the emperor, the city of Kowloon is a small place in size, but it is one of the most populated in the world.

New Territories (including 235 outlying islands)

Until some years ago, the New Territories were an idyllic rural area with lovely mountain scenery, peaceful forests, lots of agriculture and only a few small villages. There has been a strong population growth in the territory of Hong Kong that has led to more and more suburban housing areas being built in the New Territories, the so-called New Towns. Outside the New Towns, however, beautiful mountains and hills reside. Large parts of the New Territories are Country  Parks where you can take walks in the forests and observe 

butterflies.
