Relief in Hong Kong,,, ( Fast! Fast! 救急!!!!! ) 15 點~!!!!!

Hong Kong lies on the south-eastern coast of the East Asia landmass between latitudes 22 degrees 09' and 22 degrees 37'N to the east of the Pearl River estuary. The region is a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China and consists of an extensive area of the mainland landmass together with numerous islands, the largest of which are Lantau Island (142 km2), Hong Kong Island (78 km2) and Lamma Island (13.5 km2). The total land area is 1076 km2, of which over 40 km2 is the result of land reclamation.

The topography is extremely rugged and there is little natural flat land. Around 47% of the Hong Kong landscape lies above 100 mPD with around 12% above 300 mPD.

More recent urban landscapes situated on flat, low lying reclamation. Much of this is medium rise mixed-use development, but in the commercial corridor between Sheung Wan and Causeway Bay is found one of the most spectacular high-rise urban landscapes in the world, with a number of examples of world-class architecture.

Hong Kong has few natural lowlands below around 40mPD. Even fewer of these retain their traditional rural land uses and landscape features. Such ‘Lowland Countryside Landscapes’ are found in small areas in the South-east and North-east New Territories and on Lantau Island, occupying in total, around 8% of Hong Kong’s land area. By far the most extensive area of Lowland Countryside Landscape is found in the North-west New Territories in a belt between Lau Fau Shan and Sha Tau Kok. This area forms an extensive rural coastal plain landscape with a low-lying, open area of land, historically reclaimed from Deep Bay and forming a striking landscape of tightly packed fish ponds interspersed by occasional trees and buildings.

Further inland lie scattered and smaller scale rural inland plain landscapes, consisting of a traditional landscape pattern of low-lying topography, arable fields, ponds, villages, blocks of woodland and winding lanes.
With the changes to the rural economy over the last few decades, many formerly agricultural based rural landscapes have been undergoing gradual change. In such areas, the decline of agricultural activities has led to their replacement by non-rural land uses and features, such as open storage, vehicle parking, golf courses and infrastructure development.
