| | Hong Kong : Orientation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) |
 | | The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) is located at the southeastern tip of the People's Republic of China, some 1,996km (1,237 miles) south of Beijing; it lies just south of the Tropic of Cancer at about the same latitude as Mexico City, the Bahamas, and Hawaii. |
 | | Hong Kong Island is the home to such major attractions as Hong Kong Park, Victoria Peak, Stanley Market, Ocean Park, and the Zoological and Botanical Gardens. |
 | | I'd argue that Hong Kong is also the most stunning, given the ferries, cargo ships, fishing boats, and ocean liners bustling in Victoria Harbour, juxtaposed against many peaks that punctuate the cityscape. |
