A little context changes the day.
Hong Kong grew from a cluster of coastal communities into a major British colonial port after the mid-19th century. Its deep harbour and position on China trade routes drove rapid commercial growth and successive waves of migration. The 1997 handover to China created the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, adding a new political chapter to a city still defined by its harbour.
More
The region had a much longer Chinese history before Britain took control of Hong Kong Island in 1841–42, followed later by Kowloon and the leased New Territories. Victoria Harbour became the economic engine of a colonial entrepôt linking southern China with global shipping, finance and manufacturing. Japanese occupation during the Second World War caused severe hardship, while post-war refugee arrivals and industrialisation produced another period of dramatic growth. From the 1970s onward, finance and services replaced much manufacturing. Sovereignty transferred to the People’s Republic of China in 1997 under the ‘one country, two systems’ framework. The Star Ferry, Central, Kowloon waterfront and hillside districts all reflect the geography that made the harbour central to the city’s development.
