Hong Kong's population is 95 percent ethnic Chinese and 5 percent from other groups. Hong Kong's Han Chinese majority originate mainly from the cities of Guangzhou and Taishan in the neighbouring Guangdong province.
Hong Kong became a colony of the British Empire after the First Opium war (1839–1842). Originally confined to Hong Kong Island, the colony's boundaries were extended in stages to the Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories by 1898.
Hong Kong is a nice place to visit and I may say a nice place to live in. Not to much of a lansdcape in the Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. It is the Lantau island that changes the scenery - beautiful island with mountains and a lot of places to visit.
The city is great organized in terms of public information and transportation. A lot of good food is awaiting in Hong Kong, don't miss it. I would post below a few links just to keep the site organized.
