Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China, located on the southeast coast. It was a British colony until 1997, when it returned to Chinese sovereignty under the principle of "one country, two systems," allowing it to maintain a high degree of autonomy. Hong Kong is known for its vibrant economy, thriving financial sector, diverse culture, and iconic skyline, blending Eastern and Western influences. It has its own legal and political systems, though recent developments have seen increasing influence from Beijing, raising concerns over civil liberties and governance.
