Introduction to the Geography and Environment of Hong Kong
I Introduction to the Geography and Environment of Hong Kong
Introduction
Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region of China, is known for its dynamic cityscape, vibrant culture, and significant economic prowess. However, beyond its urban jungle lies a diverse and captivating geography and environment. This lesson aims to provide an introduction to the geographic location, physical features, and environmental significance of Hong Kong, setting the stage for a deeper understanding of the region's unique landscape and ecological diversity. By exploring these facets, learners will gain a foundational appreciation for the factors that shape Hong Kong's natural environment and the role it plays in the broader ecological context.
Geographic Location
Situated on the southern coast of China, Hong Kong covers an area of approximately 1,106 square kilometers. It consists of Hong Kong Island, the Kowloon Peninsula, the New Territories, and over 200 outlying islands. The region is strategically positioned at the mouth of the Pearl River Delta, bordering Guangdong Province to the north and facing the South China Sea to the east, south, and west. This strategic location has historically made Hong Kong a significant maritime hub, influencing its development as a leading global financial center and a gateway between East and West.
Hong Kong's geographic positioning also affects its climate, biodiversity, and environmental conditions. The proximity to the South China Sea and the Pearl River Delta contributes to its humid subtropical climate, characterized by hot, humid summers and mild, dry winters.
