Hong Kong Downtown

From the vantage point of the Interconti hotel roof top, our earthTV broadcast camera overlooks the world's busiest deepwater port. The viewer can see a city not only geared towards making money but feeling good about it. At night, it's like looking down into a volcano.

Geographical Features:

The name 'Hong Kong' is derived from Hong Kong Island in the South China Sea, at the mouth of the Xi Jiang or 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, with the highest point being the Tai Mo Shan (literally means 'Big Fog Mountain') at 958 m, though lowlands exist in the north. Of the total of 1102 km² of Hong Kong, only 25% are developed. The remaining 75% are set aside as country parks and nature reserves.
