		The northern coast of the island forms the southern shore of the Victoria Harbour, which is largely responsible for the development of Hong Kong due to its deep waters favored by large trade ships.
		Hong Kong Island is the second-largest island of the territory, the largest being Lantau Island.
		Hong Kong Island is connected to the Kowloon Peninsula on the mainland by three road-only tunnels (the Cross-Harbour Tunnel and the Western Harbour Tunnel), two MTR metro tunnels (Tsuen Wan Line and Tung Chung Line) and one combined road and MTR rail link tunnel, the Eastern Harbour Tunnel (in separate conduits running side by side).

	Hong Kong
		Hong Hong businessmen may be openly fretting about the territory's economic future, but their fears have little to do with the coming transfer of sovereignty.
		To revive Hong Kong's industry, the future administration is already considering proposals ranging from building large science parks that would act as magnets for technology companies to importing mass labor from China to run local textile factories.

	Amazon.com: Kong Island: DVD: Roberto Mauri,Brad Harris,Esmeralda Barros,Marc Lawrence,Adriana Alben,Mark Farran,Aldo ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Kong Island (1968) was directed by Robert Morris, aka Roberto Mauri, a man whom you may have never heard of unless you are familiar with Italian cinema, specifically sword and sandal movies or spaghetti westerns.
		Every single word of the title of this film is perfectly accurate with the exceptions of "Kong" and "Island." "Kong Island" is, in fact, quite a blundering misnomer.
		Some variations of this movie title it "King of Kong Island." For an added bit of humor, the movie makes it clear that they are in Africa.

	Power Line: Hong Kong's Government Backs Off Crackdown
		A few days ago we posted on the massive demonstrations in Hong Kong, estimated at 500,000 people, against the adoption of a proposed Article 23 of Hong Kong's Basic Law, which was seen as opening the door to a totalitarian crackdown on Hong Kong.
		Whether the people of Hong Kong can retain their freedom depends, I suppose, on what happens in China generally.
		If China fails to reform, it is hard to see how Hong Kong can remain an island of freedom indefinitely.
