THE
CITY & ITS ISLANDS
Hong
Kong is one of China's largest cities, one of more than a hundred cities
in
China that boast a population of above a million (you've probably never
even
heard the names of most of these places). Hong Kong is located in the
South-East of China and is spread over 235 islands. The former British
crown
colony was returned to China in 1997, however, it still has a special
status
within the country under the "one country - two systems principle".
