Hong Kong Lot

Hong Kong, on China’s southern coast, combines a densely populated urban landscape with mountainous country parks, outlying islands, and Victoria Harbour. Its predominantly Chinese population speaks mainly Cantonese, while Chinese and English are official languages. A subtropical climate brings hot, humid summers and mild winters, and its history as a British colony led to its 1997 return to China as a Special Administrative Region. Cultural figures such as filmmaker Wong Kar-wai and actor Jackie Chan reflect Hong Kong’s influential cinema tradition.
