用英文介紹香港

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (Traditional Chinese: 香港特別行政區 [pronunciation]), commonly known as Hong Kong[3] (Chinese: 香港), is one of the two special administrative regions (SARs) of the People's Republic of China (PRC), along with Macau. Comprised of more than 260 islands, the territory is located on the eastern side of the Pearl River Delta, bordering Guangdong province in the north and facing the South China Sea in the east, west and south.

Hong Kong was a Crown colony of the United Kingdom from 1842 until the transfer of sovereignty to the People's Republic of China in 1997. The Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Basic Law of Hong Kong stipulate that Hong Kong will operate with a high degree of autonomy until at least 2047, fifty years after the transfer. Under the policy of "one country, two systems", the Central People's Government is responsible for the territory's defence and foreign affairs, while Hong Kong maintains its own legal system, police force, monetary system, customs policy, immigration policy, and delegates to international organizations and events.

Hong Kong primarily consists of Hong Kong Island, Lantau Island, Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories. The Kowloon Peninsula is attached to the New Territories to the north, and the New Territories spans northwards eventually connecting with mainland China across the Sham Chun River (Shenzhen River). In total, Hong Kong encompasses a collection of 262 islands in the South China Sea, of which Lantau is the largest. Hong Kong Island is the second largest island and the most populated. Ap Lei Chau is the most densely populated island in the world.

The name "Hong Kong", literally meaning "fragrant harbour", is derived from the area around present-day Aberdeen on Hong Kong Island, where fragrant wood products and fragrant incense were once traded.[7] The narrow body of water separating Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Peninsula, Victoria Harbour, is one of the deepest natural maritime ports in the world.

Hong Kong is my home. I like it because it is very special to me. We speak Cantonese in Hong Kong. Most HK people can speak English, Cantonese and Mandarin. Hong Kong is a shopping paradise, many tourists come to Hong Kong to do their shopping because the goods are cheap and good. I highly recommend tourists to shop in Mongkok, Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay because these are a few hot spots for shopping.
I would also recomment tourists to visit the New Territories because there are some old and special buildings there which worth seeing, for example the Dai Fu Dai Mansion and some old temples.
