Abstract
Background of the Study. Hongkong, a British Colony, lies on the southeastern coast of the Chinese province, Kwangtung. It is an international city with two and half million population, and is a free port of trading for all the British Commonwealth and Colonies. Hongkong is furthermore a city built with all modern amenities, and described as 'dream land' for tourists. Most significant in the light of world politics today, Hongkong is the only portion of China proper free from the Communist regime.The Colony is composed of Hongkong Island, the adjacent Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories. The New Territories comprise a hilly area on the mainland which is between Kowloon, the Chinese border, and other adjacent islands. The total area of this Colony is approximately 391 square miles, nine-tenths of which is hilly and mountainous.
