Hong Kong is located at 22°N latitude and 114°10’E longitude, with a total area of 1,067 square kilometers. It is approximately 1/15 the size of Beijing, 1/6 that of Shanghai, and 1/5 of Guangzhou. Hong Kong consists of four main parts: Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the New Territories, and the Outlying Islands. Hong Kong Island and its surrounding small islands cover an area of 80.87 square kilometers, representing the core of Hong Kong. The region is characterized by numerous hills and mountains, with very little flat land. Many buildings are built on slopes, and the steep, winding streets and mountainous roads are distinctive. Kowloon is bounded by mountains such as Lion Rock and Kai Tak Mountain to the south, covering an area of 38.99 square kilometers, including Cheung Chau. The coastal plains of Tsim Sha Tsui in the east, Kwun Tong, Tai Kok Tsui, Tsuen Wan, and the Hong Kong International Airport are all the result of land reclamation in the past century.
