Kong Weather:

The capital of Hong Kong is Victoria, on Hong Kong Island. Most
travellers to Hong Kong end up in Kowloon though.
The green and white Star Ferries run across Victoria Bay to the Island
regularly, where buses connect to Aberdeen and Stanley.
Britain first used the island as a naval base during the opium wars
with China.
The first opium war ended in 1842, and Hong Kong was ceded to the
British by the treaty of Nanking.
After another conflict in 1860, Great Britain acquired Kowloon and
Stonecutters island.
The 99 year lease on the New Territories expired on June 1st 1997, and
Hong Kong was handed over to China; lock, stock and noon-day gun.

from Hong Kong. The visas are easy to obtain here, and you already feel a little of the
culture before jumping over from the West, so to speak.
