Hong Kong Districts Map

Hong Kong Districts Map - Hong Kong, the amazing and exciting metropolis, is much more than a city but made up of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, New Territories, Lautau Island, and the Outlying Island, covering an area of over 1,103 square kilometers.

Hong Kong Island

Hong Kong Island is the site of the original British settlement. Hong Kong's financial centre, shopping and nightlife districts and government offices are also located on the northern section of island. The southern section has a less populated, more leisurely feel, with beautiful beaches and luxury residential complexes housing the territories richest. Overall, Hong Kong Island is more Westernized and much wealthier than the other areas of Hong Kong.

Kowloon

Kowloon is the most populous area in Hong Kong and at one time it was the most densely populated place in the world. Today, it offers a chaotic mix of malls, street markets and residential tenements. Nathan Road runs up the spine of Kowloon, a street once famously known as the Miracle Mile for its dense high-rises, shopping, hotels, wall-to-wall people and an explosion of neon lights.

New Territories

Named by British officials when leased from the Chinese government in 1898, the New Territories contain a curious mix of small farms, villages, industrial installations, mountainous country parks and towns that have populations the size of some cities. Most of the New Territories is rural and provides a surprising green alternative to an over-urbanized Hong Kong.

Lantau Island

Lautau Island is the largest of the Outlying Islands, twice the size of Hong Kong Island.
