In which country is Hong Kong?
The city-state of Hong Kong is located on the southeast coast of the Chinese Sea and has a common border with China. In addition to the island of the same name, Hong Kong includes the Kowloon Peninsula, New Territories and two and a half hundred small islands scattered over the China Sea. Until recently, Hong Kong was one of the colonies of the old Britain, but since 1997, returned to the People's Republic of China, becoming its administrative district. At the same time, Hong Kong managed to maintain its own legislation, legal proceedings and executive power. By the way, it is thanks to its successful geographical location, Hong Kong got a chance to take place as an independent state. The fact that Hong Kong is located near the Dongjiang River has made it an attractive place to cross trade routes from Europe to China and back.
Modern Hong Kong is not only a huge trading platform, but a well-developed tourist center. Every year hundreds of thousands of tourists from all over the world come here attracted by the opportunity of favorable purchases and exotic rest.
