Geographic Information
The name 'Hong Kong' is derived from Hong Kong Island in the South China Sea, at the mouth of the Xi Jiang (Pearl River) of southern China. Other territories that were later added include the Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories, which include over 200 surrounding islands. The landscape is fairly hilly to mountainous with steep slopes, though lowlands exist in the north. Only 25% of Hong Kong are developed. The remaining 75% are set aside as country parks and nature reserves.
Key aspects of tourism
The tourism in Hong Kong is an important part of the Hong Kong economy. Many Chinese tourists visit Hong Kong - most people like to shop there.
