![]() Hong Kong is one of the two special administrative regions of the People's Republic of China ( along with Macau ). Comprising more than 260 islands, the territory is located on the eastern side of the Pearl River Delta, bordering Guangdong province in the north and facing the South China Sea in the east, west and south. Hong Kong was a Crown Colony of the United Kingdom from 1842 until the British Nationality Act 1981. As a result of that act Hong Kong then became a British dependent territory. In 1997 a transfer of sovereignty returned Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China. |
